Mt. Magazine

December 8, 2015

Took a trip up to Mt. Magazine which is the highest point in Arkansas. To see the beauty of God's creation amazes me and makes me realize how small I am yet He loves even me!!!



Looking NorthWest



You can actually stand on top of these cliffs.  No railings and me being afraid of heights and a windy day I was being very careful and not getting too close but close enough to get some good photos!!



View from the ledges




Looking Towards Clarksville (North)



Hang gliders can take off from the Southern Point.  Not something I would do!
 

List of records achieved on Mt. Magazine


Just to the right of the cabin, the brown grassy knoll is where they take off from.



To get to the highest point takes about a mile walk to the center of the mountain.  There is a road that circles the outer rim of the mountain thus giving the spectacular views, but the highest point is in the middle about 100 ft higher than the road & surrounded by trees.
Nice little walk











They have created a map of Arkansas out of stone with a line down the middle for the Arkansas River.  Mt Magazine is in the middle left hand corner. (a blue dot)



There is a Lodge on the South Side.











They even used to play croquet here!













Here is some of the views from the Lodge looking South.
