Dogwood Canyon, a short drive from Big Cedar Lodge, is a pristine valley laced with history, beauty, and wildlife. A stream fed by waterfalls meanders through the valley. It is crisscrossed by unique bridges, and dotted with trout ponds. Eagles make it their home for the winter feeding on the trout.
The ridge beyond the canyon is home to elk, bison, and longhorns. They actually come up to feed along side the tram that takes you on this mystical tour. The tour is concluded by a cookout complete with Black Angus burgers.
This year Dogwood Canyon is intended only for first time participants. The others will be relegated to piloting their Porsches and dining at the Ozark Cafe, another of our favorite stops. Perhaps the only thing that can rival the beauty of the canyon is the parking lot after each Porsche is safely positioned.
The prerequisites for the Ozark Tour (a road trip for your Porsche) are: you must take your Porsche, you must drive in a prudent manner, and you must have fun. And, yes, the latter two requisites can coexist.
