Ponca Wilderness bluff hike on the Buffalo with bluff on creek action
8/19/26
The Ponca Wilderness is not a true wilderness, but close enough. This area was entered at 4:50 75° with clear skies and no breeze. My way was made to a bluff above the river. There I waited for the sun to come up and begin burning my ass clean off. It got cloudy. The slope coming in was quite steep and therefore that way hiking out. Exit was made at 9:15 with 77°. The hike covered 3.1 miles.
