A couple of weeks ago on January 15, I headed to Mount Magazine hoping to get some good snow photos. I did a walk on the North Rim Trail.Most of the snow had already melted, but I did get some nice photos of snow and of the beautiful scenery. I also made a new gpx file which I used to update the gpx trail map on this post.

Here are some of the photos I took. You can click them for a larger view.

This is not a scenic-view trail, at least during leaf-on (summer, early fall, late spring). But you should take a minute to look at the pond.

If you’re wondering if there is something special once you reach the highest point in Arkansas, there is. Aside from the sign (see photo above) designating the spot, there is a large rock map of the state of Arkansas with different types of rock designating the state’s different geographic regions (e.g., Ozarks, Crowley’s Ridge).
