Hike to Ladderbucket Falls and John Mountain Falls

The Ladderbucket Falls and John Mountain Falls hike is just one of the many great waterfall hiking options around Lost Corner in the southern Ozarks of Arkansas. For this hike, we teamed up once again with @GezRogers and Super Leeds of Waterfalls in Arkansas and Other Cool Places. Also joined by my good buddy and AR Own Backyard regular, @DavidColclasure . We took the normal route that most people take for this hike which is about a 5 mile out and bike hike, mostly along an old ATV trail. For the hike back, we went to the top of Ladderbucket and bushwhacked up the creek above it and back to the trail. This is tough hike over some steep and rugged terrain. Be sure and watch till the end before setting out on that part of the hike.
