  Ditto what everyone else has said! I don’t sit through 30+ minute videos very often, but man, I just couldn’t put my phone down. Hitting this next weekend with three friends. I consider myself “well researched” when I have the opportunity to make a plan, and this was by far the most helpful resource. Thank you for your time!

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymFCXmnGDmE&amp;t=1296">21:36</a> thank you, thank you for all you do to inspire and encourage. I have a disabled son who is paralyzed and so the only time we can share any of these adventures is by watching on video together in his room. That&apos;s one thing you&apos;re doing for sure that you may not have thought about I don&apos;t know but you&apos;re helping people who can&apos;t go otherwise experience this too.

  If anyone is looking for a stop over the night before you begin the loop, keep Birdies AirBnB in mind. It’s located in Dierks, AR, and is only 30 mins from the Athens Big fork Trail Head.

  I&apos;ve watched dozens of videos on this trail. This is by far the informative video I have seen. Your video does justice. Thank you. My gf and I just did this for the 1st time 3 weeks ago and I&apos;m eager to go to it again counterclockwise like you did.

  My husband and me just watched this all the way. Three of our adult grandsons &amp; one great grandson are hiking &amp; camping this trail in a couple of weeks and our oldest grandson shared this with us. Really enjoyed. Wish we were not so old and decrepit or we would be planning a trip for ourselves. Getting to watch this video was next best thing. Thanks.

  That last 4 mile section you did was the first hike I ever did,just backwards from the way you went. We came out at the little Missouri falls parking lot. I fell in love with the area because of that hike!

  I thought you were kidding at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymFCXmnGDmE&amp;t=2026">33:46</a> where you said &apos;you&apos;re not missing much on this part&apos; because right there you can see the Eagle Rock formation in the distance where the trail gets it&apos;s name! Love the video and really appreciate you putting in all the extra detail in it to help new people discover this gem.

  Your video was great and inspiring. This is the best hiking video that I have seen . Thanks for the tips! I think this is a place for us to take our hiking to the next level out of Texas!
