This book follows in the great tradition of Tim Ernst's Ozark Highlands Trail Guide. A complete and in-depth review of the Buffalo River Trail and the interesting sidetrails along the way. Very descriptive. The perfect companion for hiking the Buffalo River area. Should go alongside the Ozark Highlands Trail Guide on your bookshelf!

This book is the best guide for the buffalo around. Ernst suggests good length loops for day and multi day hikes. The book points out lots of things to see along the way that you might otherwise miss. Included difficulty ratings, elevation charts, and distances which I found very useful for picking trails that kids can go on. It's best to bring a topo map with you as well.

The author does a great job of giving you a good idea what to expect on each hike. We hiked four of the trails listed, and found the directions and descriptions fairly to extremely accurate. Easy 1-mile hikes as well as vigorous 10-mile-+ hikes are included. This is a great guide to help you decide which trails are right for you and the group you're hiking with.
