Carroll County High Point Trip Report

Date: June 9, 1999

The ~60 mile drive from Benton Co. to this HP took quite a while. The twisty, hilly terrain was quite a change from OK, and the Eureka Springs tourist HQ did not exactly speed things along. Eventually I got to SR 43, climbed up onto a large plateau, and headed down to Newton Co.

From here you head NW a bit on a neat dirt road, with a scenic crossing of Wolf Branch Creek. Perhaps I found the views more impressive since I had just driven the length of OK? In any case the HP is pretty nondescript, a 2 area "liner", with the west area higher. I left a Coke can register by the fence and wandered around a bit playing with the sight level.
