It not only provides 360 degree views from the summit but also has some rare histo- ry as a B-52 bomber crashed there in 1948. The trail loops around the base of the mountain top bluffs where sce- nic rock formations are in abundance. The trail then climbs to the top of the bluff line for panoramic views of Jas- per, AR and the surrounding area. In addition to stops at overlooks, other focal points include a bluff shelter and a marker where the plane crashed. Di- rections and meeting location will be sent upon registering for this hike. Due to the initial climb in elevation to reach the top of the mountain, this hike is rated at Activity Level 4.
