Description

Tim Ernst, photographer, naturalist, and explorer of every bluff, swampland, vista, and creek, has collected 101 of his favorite scenic spots around the Natural State. From tranquil cypress swamps to wind-blown mountaintops, from hidden caves to sweeping prairie edges, this guidebook is your invitation to wander, linger, and discover what makes Arkansas truly scenic. 

  • Over 100 scenic areas spanning prairies, bluffs, caves, waterfalls, mountain views, wildlife viewing spots, wilderness areas, canoe & hiking trails, nature centers, and more.  
  • Detailed maps and GPS coordinates to make finding each site easier, even the ones off the main roads.  
  • Difficulty ratings so you can pick something easy when you want a gentle walk, or more challenging when you want to stretch into wild country.  
  • Gorgeous full-color photographs (160+ color photos), plus about 110 maps, so you can see what’s waiting before you make the drive.  
  • Updated details: e.g. Newton County road numbers were revised in 2014 and this edition reflects that, so driving is less guesswork.
