Here is a link to a guide book for the Ouachita trails: http://store.cloudland.net/merchant.ihtml?pid=5&step=4. The author is pretty detailed on his descriptions. For those closer to northern Arkansas, he also has trail guides for the Ozark Highlands trails. You may be able to find one in your local outdoor store.

Subject: [Philmont] Final two weeks of preperation hikes. Kilgore Texas or Geneese OH.
I saw Pat's request after sending that last note.
Both the Ouachita and Little Missouri trails (in fact, the entire Eagle Rock Loop Trail) are excellent locations for shakedown hikes for us Texans. We will be visiting both in March and/or April in preparations for our June treks.
I did a write up of our Eagle Rock Loop Trail trip this last March on the forum (link below). I guess I need to do one on the parts of the Ouachita we have done, also.

Keith,
Keep the Ouachita and Little Missouri trails on the down-low (did I spell that right?).
All we need are more people on those trails...
Okay, everyone is invited AFTER June 18, 2008!

I recommend going up and down the bleachers at the football stadium, with
your internal pack stuffed with bricks wrapped in towels. If you're an
external freak, you can always use National Geographics.
Or do what I do, and drive to the Oauchita Trail in Oklahoma or the Little
Missouri Trail in Arkansas.
