Hike | Available
Experience nature, adventure, and amazing vistas on this hike along the Rim Trail at White Rock Mountain. Rising 2,309 feet above sea level, White Rock Mountain is the hub of several trail systems offering hundreds of miles of trails to explore. The Rim Trail is a 1.9-mile loop that runs along the edge of the mountain top’s bluff line, boasting 365-degree views of the Ozark National Forest. The hike will conclude at Sunset Shelter, on the west side of the mountain, to take in a picturesque sunset!
The trip to White Rock Mountain is a stretch, so expect a full day of travel. Note that the Rim Trail traverses along steep bluffs and is not for those with a fear of heights.
