Sam's Throne Trail

Sam’s Throne is a spectacular sandstone formation rising above the Ozark forest, its sheer walls attracting rock climbers while hikers enjoy the surrounding loop trail and panoramic views. The trail circuits the throne formation, passing through boulder fields and along bluff lines before climbing to overlooks of the Big Creek valley. The rocky terrain and dramatic exposure create an adventurous atmosphere, and the relatively remote location ensures fewer crowds than the region’s more famous destinations.
