"Where in North America is this?" Section XII

[Pfemm]

Close meaning the right state : Arkansas

Hint : North
This place goes by two different names depending on who you talk to

............I'll travel north of Mena to the highest point in Arkansas, Mount Magazine, where Sunrise Rock awaits those willing and able to take a short hike.

Hobbs State park perchance ? Beaver lake being the "other" name

[Pfemm]

Nope... not Hobbs...

This spot/rock i'm standing on is one of the most photographed spots in all of Arkansas

[Mark Sedenquist]

I've never been there -- just used your term...

Mark

[Pfemm]

Mark - Nope not Pinnacle either. More northwest

Dave - southeast of Hobbs

Hawksbill Crag in the Ozark NF/Buffalo national river area ? [ AKA Whitakar point]

[Pfemm]

:D YES! and according to all the people we asked for directions: it's "the most photographed rock in all of Arkansas."

Halfway up the super inclined six-mile dirt road you have to drive on to get to the hiking spot.. we thought we were going the wrong way and so we asked a fellow sitting on his porch where "Whitaker Point" was and he said "i don't know what whitaker point is but up the road there's 'Hawksbill Crag'."

I really had no idea what he was calling it even after he repeated himself several times lol...
but he just happened to be looking at an Arkansas brochure showed me a picture of "Hawksbill Crag" and then we realized we were taking about the same thing. :)


And i really have to give big kudos to this site for inspiring us to get out and just drive... My husband and I have seen more of oklahoma and the surrounding areas in the last 6-9 months than we have in the last 15 years living here! (and now we're obsessed with two lane highways, small towns, and homemade pie)

I could use some homemade pie about now!

Thanks for the kudos!
