About us
If you want to get outdoors, enjoy nature, and destress — this is the group for you. Please join us for fellowship in the great outdoors!
We love hiking, kayaking/canoeing, camping/backpacking, walking/racing, bicycling, etc. We are only allowed to pick 15 tags, but if it has to do with the outdoors, there's probably someone in this group who'd like to join you.
… and, of course, there's often food involved 😜
We look forward to spending time with you!

AR State Parks: Mount Nebo State Park
Bass Pro Pyramid (North Parking Lot), 416 N Front St,, Memphis, TN, USThis hike IS PET-FRIENDLY.
Because of January’s snow, an event that our band pipes for was moved to our normal hike day, so I’ve moved the February hike to the 28th.
Our goal in this series is to visit all 52 state parks. This month’s park is:
Mount Nebo State Park
16728 West State Hwy. 155
Dardanelle, AR 72834
We will meet at the Bass Pro Pyramid north parking lot off Front Street (the smaller parking lot close to auto bridge over to Mud Island) at 8:45 am for those who would like to carpool. We will leave at 9:00 am.
About this park:
This is one of my favorite places to hike. We will meet at the Visitor Center at the summit of the mountain, and hike the Rim Trail.
Situated in the Arkansas River Valley just 45 minutes from Arkansas Wine Country, this state park sits atop the 1,350-foot Mount Nebo. The 1930s-era Civilian Conservation Corps constructed many of the rustic-style cabins, pavilions, bridges, and 32.6 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails.
Mount Nebo offers panoramic views of the Arkansas River from the Rim Trail.
