Despite countless visits to Pinnacle Mountain since moving to Little Rock in 1994, I’d never made the hike to the east quarry area until today. The trail head is over on the north side of the park at the visitor center. At the beginning of the trail there’s a nice deck with a great view of the Arkansas River. The east quarry is about a mile and a half from the trail head and offers an even better view of the river. The photo above is the Big Maumelle River with Lake Maumelle way off in the background.
I was pretty surprised by the amount of color still on the trees. I wished I had been up there last weekend when the color was probably at its best.
