Re: [Philmont]: ozark trail

The OHT is an excellent training ground. There is a book by Tim Ernst, a
long-time, very knowledgeable hiker of the OHT (see
http://wilderness.arkansasusa.com/OHTAinfo.html) which gives a great deal of
information about each section of the trail, including distance and elevation
maps, and directions/descriptions of trail features. You can probably find a
copy at Barnes & Noble, or order one through B&N or from the above website.

Sections 5, 6, or 7 are the most "challenging" sections in terms of terrain
differences, depending on the time you have for the trek. I believe section 1
has been closed to thru-hiking.

Have a great trip!
