Hideout Hollow GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

Hideout Hollow is a nice add-on to some of the longer hikes in Buffalo National River. It's a short hike through the forest to the top of an overhanging sandstone grotto. Hideout Hollow sometimes has water flowing when it has rained recently. To access the grotto's base and see the cool formation from below, continue west along the top of the feature's rim along a social trail. Some stacked rocks were in place to help get off the rim and down to the bottom of Hideout Hollow.
