TRAILHEADS - HIKING - NATURAL
RECREATION AREAS (NRA's)
The first time that I saw the
Buffalo National Recreation Area, I cried because it was so beautiful.
Magnificent, majestic, pristine - the words that would do justice
to this NRA simply do not exist. Therefore, I'll attempt to share what I saw
and encourage you and your family to visit.
The section that we visited along
the water contained the clearest water with canyon walls that stretched
to God. Those walls had character - and were the color of a burnt
golden sand.
Many businesses in the area offered canoe rental, so there
were plenty 'taker-uppers'.
Keep in mind that NRA's tend to
be closer to a 'back to nature adventure' than the State Parks,
as terrain is rougher and facilities and modern amenities are basic
at best - but the privacy factor is priceless.
That's my short capsule on the
National Buffalo Recreation Area. If you plan to visit, I would
advise that you incorporate an overnight camping trip into the mix.
There were several great camping spots in the area and SO
MUCH to explore.
