The early morning fog created an eerie setting for our 6 mile drive along the gravel road to the trailhead. The fog coupled with the fallen autumn leaves and exposed tree branches, begged us to pull over and briefly enjoy our surroundings before continuing on with our bumpy ascent. By the time we began our hike, the fog had subsided and made way for a perfect day to be outdoors. The changing colors of the leaves created some stunning views along the moderately rated trail. We knew when we had reached the unique view of Whitaker Point and it did not disappoint. As we sat and enjoyed the outlook before us, it was easy to see why this crag was one of the most photograped and recognizable features in Arkansas.
