Elk herds roam freely along the Buffalo River, where you can paddle past towering limestone bluffs in crystal-clear water. Hike to Hawksbill Crag at sunrise for the iconic photo spot, then explore Lost Valley's hidden waterfalls and cave formations.

One of the best kayaking trips I have been on. The Buffalo National River is stunning. The large cliff lines are wonderful on this section of the river.
