Drove to Jean Petit State Park in Arkansas yesterday. A beautiful campground and area. We are camped on Lake Bailey. Up early this morning and went to the Jean Petit overlook. Great views of Ada Valley and the Arkansas River as the sun was coming up.

Below is the legend of Petit Jean

There is a 95 foot waterfall here in the park so we went to the Cedar Creek Falls overlook. A great view from above the falls. On to Mather Lodge to the trail head to the bottom of the falls. The literature says a 2 mile hike but round trip it was close to 4 miles according to my GPS on my phone. The first half mile drops over 200 feet to the creek.  Trail was steep and footing not the greatest but it was worth it.

Saw a lot of wildflowers. Trout Lilies, Early Saxifrage, Rue Anemone, and Spring Beauties.

Tomorrow we move on to Devils Den.
