Mt. Nebo State Park
On the way to popular Mt. Nebo State Park, wayside overlooks make for easy viewing
along steep and sharply curving Rte. 155. Once at the 1,350-foot summit, hikers have their
pick of fine trails and, after a day's exploration, can enjoy swimming or camping.

ated by rising hot air).
Mt. Magazine, the highest peak in Arkansas, offers many vantage points in which you can see almost a quarter of the
state on a clear day.
