Drove down last Sunday and visited Dogwood Canyon near Branson…it used to be a privately owned trout and game reserve, owned by the guy that started Bass Pro Shops…it has since been turned into a place where people can go and either take a tram ride, or hike, or bike ride, or ride a segway up the trail and see and photograph nice waterfalls and stream pools…one can also fish for trout there too…I decided to walk up the asphalt trail and made it up the trail three miles before I turned around and came back…the tram actually goesup six and a half miles before turning around to come back, which puts you a mile or two inside the state of Arkansas and one can see elk and deer and turkeys and eagles along the trail…while I saw an eagle, I mainly went to see the waterfalls….

this is the first small waterfall which the first big pool backs up behind…

..this is the first major waterfall up the trail…

this is Lone Pine Covered Bridge, not far up the trail and just before you arrive at their wedding chapel…

..some more small cascades near the Great Spirit Waterfall…

which is the large waterfall in this photo……and from the other side of the pool….

…this is the Turtle Rock Bridge, which is as far up the trail as I wanted to go Sunday afternoon…

..I missed the fall colors by about two weeks, to see them, go about the first of November apparently. The only bad thing about this park, is they dont allow well behaved pets.
