Father’s Day is here, and we’ve got the scoop on what’s happening this weekend in Arkansas! There are some great adventures to enjoy with Dad this weekend, like boating, archeology, baseball, archery — and some great events for the rest of the family too! (Like a ladies retreat at Lake Weddington!) Summer Solstice is on Sunday, and there are several events celebrating that as well. Plenty of both indoor and outdoor activities to check out.

Pre-Hike Coffee & Rock Shelter Lunch: Seven Hollows Trail
Seven Hollows Trail
THE NEW DATE IS HOPEFUL, BUT TENTATIVE.
Ready to lose yourself in one of the most prehistoric-looking landscapes in Arkansas? We are heading back to Petit Jean to explore the Seven Hollows Trail—a winding journey through deep sandstone canyons, towering natural bridges, and hidden rock shelters that feel like another world.
THE PLAN:
● Trailhead Coffee: I’ll have the overlanding kitchen set up starting at 09:00. Come grab a pour and let's wake up before we hit the dirt.
● The Journey: We are hiking the 4.5-mile loop clockwise. This gives us a gradual descent into the hollows and saves the most dramatic rock formations for the second half of the day.
● The Natural Bridge Cafe: About 1.5 miles in, we’ll take a short coffee break under the massive sandstone bridge. I’ll be packing the Yeti with a fresh batch for a second boost and for anyone who didn't make it in time for a cup at the trailhead. I'll have plenty to share!
● Rock Shelter Lunch: For our midpoint, we’re heading deep into the hollows to find a massive bluff shelter. We’ll take a long break in the shade of these ancient overhangs to eat and hang out.
● The Finish: After lunch, we’ll make the final climb out of the hollows and back to the trailhead. We should be wrapped up with plenty of time for you to head home, fire up the grill, and enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend!
WHAT TO BRING:
● Food: Pack a full lunch! We are spending extra time at our rock shelter spot to refuel and hang out.
● Water: 2 liters minimum.
● Footwear: Sturdy boots are a must for the rocky terrain.
THE DETAILS:
● Meetup: 09:00 at the Seven Hollows Trailhead.
● Trail time: 09:30.
● Travel: It is about a 1 hour and 15 minute drive from Little Rock. Plan to head out by 07:45 to account for arrival and coffee.
● Post-Hike: Optional trip to Mather Lodge for drinks and AC before heading back to LR.
