Baby, it’s cold outside. It might not seem like a fantastic time to visit an amazing Arkansas State Park, but you can enjoy some truly lovely sights at Mount Magazine. Arkansas’s highest point is easy to see from your car or from the warmth of the sublime lodge you’ll find there. The views from the overlooks are unspeakably beautiful if you’re up to braving the cold for a few minutes, and there’s no time like the present to get out there and enjoy a little natural beauty right before all that holiday stress threatens our peace.

You’ll find Mount Magazine at 577 Lodge Drive in Paris. Find directions here.

The drive to Mount Magazine is incredible...

You can eat lunch in the restaurant and warm up with good food near huge windows that provide quite a view.

The expansive views from the overlooks up there aren’t diminished at all by lack of greenery.

In fact, they may even be more impressive.

If you don’t already live on top of a mountain, you should be aware it’s going to be cold up there. But it’s well worth a little discomfort.
