Arkansas has a trail for everyone. We have waterfall hikes, trails through caves, and even an island trail. Sometimes though, all we need is a quick jaunt to revitalize instead of an all day hiking adventure. Let's hike to Artist Point, the tiny trail with a huge view.
The most quaint feature of today's hike is the gift shop and museum that begins the trail.

The Artist Point Gift Shop & Museum is a family-owned business with all sorts of locally crafted goodies.
The trail begins just outside of the gift shop.

It's a pleasant one-mile out and back hike.

You'll come across a lovely little waterfall that's terrifically tranquil.

Walking through the trees along this hike is quite refreshing, but just wait till we reach the summit.
