Pinnacle Mountain West Summit Trail

Rising dramatically from the Arkansas River Valley just minutes from Little Rock, Pinnacle Mountain offers a surprisingly rugged climb to commanding summit views. The West Summit Trail ascends steeply over boulder-strewn terrain, requiring some scrambling on the upper slopes. From the top, Lake Maumelle sparkles to the west while the Little Rock skyline rises to the east. The accessible proximity to the city makes this Arkansas’s most popular summit hike, yet the rocky terrain provides genuine challenge.
