Tim Ernst Fall 2011 Tour

Ernst Arkansas Waterfalls, 2d Ed.

Tim Ernst is currently in the midst of his 2011 fall program tour. Ernst is the author of many great trail guides including: Arkansas Hiking Trails, Buffalo River Hiking Trails, Ozark Highlands Trail Guide, and Ouachita Trail Guide. He is also an acclaimed photographer.

I had the opportunity to see Ernst’s program today at the Fayetteville Public Library. It was my first time to see him in person, and it was a very enjoyable program. The primary feature is Ernst’s 2011 slide show, mostly featuring photos from his new Arkansas Portfolio III picture book and his updated Arkansas Waterfalls guide.

If you get the chance, you should come to one of the stops on his 2011 tour.
