Used in hundreds of Arkansas publicationas and on billboards throughout the state, this old crag is the most photographed spot in Arkansas. Avoid weekends and holidays or you'll be waiting in line for your turn to soak in the scenary. The best time is early morning on a weekday to find solitude and amazing photo ops. The 3 mile round trip trail is easy to follow and well maintained.
