The Ozark Highlands Trail is a 165 mile long trail, meticulously routed through scenic areas of the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas and maintained by a large group of volunteers. The trail is well-blazed and has mile markers. It crosses a great deal of streams and is hikeable year-round– with excellent thru-hiking opportunities.
Tim Ernst, founder and President of the Ozark Highlands Trail Association began volunteer work on the trail in the 1970s and has written the definitive guidebook for the trail, The Ozark Highlands Trail Guide. Mr. Ernst has also written other guide books about the region, such as Arkansas Hiking Trails (which President Clinton wrote the forward to), Buffalo River Hiking Trails Guidebook, and the Ouachita Trail guide. Mr. Ernst also maintains a photographic journal about the area in which he lives.

I really liked this podcast. I have the OHT and Ouachita guide book but still heard a lot of informaiton about the OHT that I haven’t heard before.
Very smart and well spoken man.
