Hawksbill Crag on a fall Afternoon is n image of the well-known rock formation, also known as Whitaker Point, in the Upper Buffalo Wilderness area of Arkansas. From the trailhead parking lot to the crag is a little under one and a half miles (a little under two and a half kilometers) and descends about 300 feet (one hundred meters).
The route back is the same but uphill. Be wary of the bluffs here as the fall is several hundred feet and would probably be fatal.
fall Color
October is probably the best month to visit for peak fall color. I took this photo just before 5:00 pm and I recall it was dark when we got back to the car so I recommend you take a headlamp for hands-free illumination on the return trip. If it has rained recently the path can also be muddy so I'd advise hiking boots or waterproof shoes.
This is a view in an easterly direction so the sun is behind me. It can be a nice hike to set out in the early morning to get to Hawksbill Crag to watch the sunrise and burn off the fog in the valleys.
It's fine to go stand on the rock, but there are no guardrails so be wary of getting too close to the edge.
