A Slow Hike

I took a day off from work this week to go out and spend a little time on the trail.  I set my sites on the Hunts Loop trail off of Highway 7 north of Hot Springs.  It's only a 4 mile trail, so I decided to head up the Ouachita Trail for a mile and visit the Moonshine Shelter along the way, making the round trip just over 6 miles. My ulterior motive was to map the trail for addition to the Arkansas Hiker app.  Here's a few photos I took along the way.  It was fun to move slow and really focus on what was out there.  Of course I could only force myself to do that for the first mile!
