The mesa-like mountain, Mount Magazine has two summits – Mossback Ridge and Signal Hill. While only 53 feet higher than the other, Signal Hill, at 2,753 feet above sea level, marks the official highest point in the state. At the top is a 400 square feet stone replica of Arkansas.
The peak is in the Boston Mountains, 120 miles Northwest of Little Rock. It's in the middle of the Ozark National Forest in the Arkansas River Valley. Arkansas is actually a Midwestern state known for its mountains. Due to its proximity to Ouachita National Forest, many believe it's a part of the Ouachita Mountains, but, it is actually a part of the Arkansas River Valley and lies within the southern end of Ozark National Forest. It's one of the amazing hidden gems in Arkansas.
We arrived during a storm and were greeted by a hanging fog that enveloped the summit. Come along this week to see what this peak has to offer!
