Arkansas trails · Little Missouri North
A 14.0-mile out-and-back in Arkansas, with 607 ft of climbing. Managed by the U.S. Forest Service.
The climbing leans toward the first third: 47% of the ascent falls between mile 0.0 and mile 4.7. It gives back about 906 ft along the way, so it rolls rather than climbing steadily.
