State Highpoint #6 - Arkansas

 Mount Magazine/Signal Hill (2,753’)

Continuing with the theme of knocking out 3 state high points at a time, Sarah and I hit one more on the road trip back to Utah. We made one final stop in the first freezing rainstorm that I’ve ever seen. Being a boy from Utah, I had heard of freezing rain before, but never seen it in person. The roads looked wet, but I didn’t realize how slick they were, as I took the speed nice and slow, since it wasn’t my car we were driving. It wasn’t until I heard the tree limbs clinging together like chimes that I realized how thick the ice had become on the trees, and the roads. Another state hightpoint, to which you can drive, we crept up the road and got out of the car for just enough time to get some pics for proof that we made it. 

This has been the only experience I’ve ever had in the Ozarks, and I definitely need to go when it’s summer or fall, and not so frozen. The area looked beautiful and I’ll bet it’s stunning covered in green.
