I am a nature lover and self-proclaimed foodie wrapped in one package. In my previous life, I was an Accountant, but numbers were boring and writing is the only thing that fuels my soul. So, I write because it's my freedom...it brings me joy. When I'm not writing dope articles for OnlyInYourState, I am writing and editing articles for my online blog on Medium.com. Or, when I get the chance, I am off on a trip with my family chasing waterfalls, or simply exploring the great outdoors. My mantra is to always find the best part of every day and bask in it.
If you’re a true outdoor enthusiast, the colder weather won’t stop you from enjoying the Natural State. I must admit, after a good snowfall, there is something quite magical about our winter wonderlands. That’s especially true for Mount Magazine State Park in Paris. Here you can explore several snowy hiking trails, and arguably, the prettiest winter views can be witnessed from the Bear Hollow Trail. Let’s bundle up to marvel at the spectacular wintery scenes in Arkansas on this 6-mile trek.
Mount Magazine is great any time of year, but the park is especially pretty after a good snowfall, when it transforms into the most spectacular winter wonderland.
Of course, it's easy to see why thousands of outdoor enthusiasts as well as photographers flock to the park each year. This gorgeous haven is a dream come true for folks who love to explore the great outdoors during the colder season.
If you want to experience the best winter landscapes, trek the 6-mile out-and-back Bear Hollow Trail. Considered moderately challenging, it's a favorite hike for yearly visitors.
Surrounded by large hardwoods and featuring multiple scenic overlooks and flowing creeks, you'll have lots of nature scenes as well as panoramic mountain views along the way.
During the colder months, the water from the creeks and tiny cascades in the area will form icicles, which are always cool to capture for your collection.
For more adventure, you can also take the easy trek to Signal Hill to see the highest point in the state. Though there aren't any scenic views on this trail, you'll still be surrounded by some of the prettiest wintery scenes in Arkansas.
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your gear and let's go hiking through this spectacular winter wonderland!
