The water was too high last year, lets see if we have better luck. We will follow the Little Missouri Trail down to the Winding Stair. The area is an exposed rock river bottom where Native Americans made hard rock products that have been found all over the South. Be at Chik-fil-A near Bass Pro at 7:30 to carpool down or be at Albert Pike by 9:45. You will need boots, lunch and water. You may want to bring water shoes as well. This hike will not need a shuttle.
