The Next Adventure: Rattlesnake Ridge & Pinnacle Mountain
I have plans for my next multi-day trip in May: Rattlesnake Ridge and Pinnacle Mountain in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Rattlesnake Ridge was opened earlier this year.
"The area provides habitat for three species of state conservation concern: the southeastern bat, the western diamondback rattlesnake, and Wright’s cliffbrake, a western desert fern. The ridge, Rattlesnake Ridge, is the watershed divide between the Big Maumelle and Little Maumelle rivers. It is comprised of a rare natural community, Ouachita Mountain Sandstone Outcrop Barrens, which is home to rare plants and animals typically found further west in hotter, drier places. "

Pinnacle Mountain State Park is nearby. https://www.arkansasstateparks.com/parks/pinnacle-mountain-state-park
I looked at the iNat data for the state park before typing this, and there are only four observations. What?! I'm going to have to fix that. ;p
I'll post more details when the time gets closer in case any Arkansas people want to join me.
