Hiking Eagle Rock Loop w/ SIX SONS 14 & Under

In Fall 2022, I hiked Arkansas's beautiful Eagle Rock Loop Trail, with our 6 youngest sons. We completed the 27-mile loop when they were 14, 12, 9, 7, 5, and 4. They walked every inch of it themselves, and everyone carried some weight/community gear.

This is a peek at what that looked like-- our experiences, meals, waypoints, mistakes, and what we liked best on our hike of Arkansas's top-rated backpacking loop: Eagle Rock Loop Trail, in the Ouachita National Forest.

DETAILS FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED:
We started at the Albert Pike Recreation Area, and parked on Hwy 369, just past the entrance road to Albert Pike. We hiked counterclockwise. It took us 5 days, but because we started mid-day, and ended mid-day, it was really done in 96 hours/4 days. The only places on the trail that we found trash cans were at Albert Pike and Little Missouri Falls.
