I don't think there is an easy way back out of this area; I basically took a northern heading paralelling Big Devil's Fork a ways, then angling N/E up the steep hillside; naturally, the hike back up all the loose boulders is even less pleasant than going down, but just keep going. Eventually, you will top out on the ridge and it's much easier to walk; keep angling N/E and you will strike the trail that takes you back to Hill Cemetary and the road out. While there is no doubt that this is a long, tough bushwhack, the pristine scenery makes up for it; I don't think there is anywhere else in Arkansas quite like it for an isolated wilderness experience; I guess the Park Service knew what it as doing when they decided not to blaze trails back here!
