About This Trail

Following the northern edge of Mount Magazine’s flat-topped summit, this trail offers continuously spectacular views across the Arkansas River Valley. The path winds through gnarled cedars and wind-sculpted oaks, emerging repeatedly at dramatic overlooks where hawks and eagles soar on thermal updrafts below. Sunrise and sunset transform the valley into a sea of gold and shadow, making this one of the most scenic short hikes in the state. Bring binoculars for excellent raptor watching.
