The best thing about the Natural State is just how many ways it can be enjoyed. Want to surround yourself in endless forest? Can do. See unexpected beauty below ground? Got it. Walk behind a waterfall? Sure thing. But if you’re wanting another sort of Arkansas adventure, then how about a chance to see the natural state from a whole new perspective? Let’s take to the skies for some jaw-dropping experiences.
If the thought of your feet leaving the ground is a bit unnerving, not to worry. Mount Magazine is the perfect place for a panoramic perspective of the valley below without taking to the skies. An easy 1.5-mile hike will take you to the top of Signal Hill, the highest point in the state at 2,753-ft.
Have only the sound of wind whipping past your ears as you conquer the Iron Horse zip-line at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch. The line is the fastest, longest, and tallest in the entire state. Reach up to speeds over 50 mph and feel your heart drop as you plunge 277-ft straight down.
The ranch is at HC 70 BOX 261 in Jasper.
