A new trailhead opened up for the Blue Mountain Natural Area on Highway 10 in rural, west Little Rock. The trailhead is on the left, if headed west on 10, and before the Alotian Golf Club.
The trailhead officially opened on Dec. 20 with a ceremony as then Gov. Asa Hutchinson and U.S. Rep. French Hill were among the speakers. It will open to the public this Spring.
The Blue Mountain Natural Area is a little more than 457 acres and is considered the third, and final, mountain that makes up the Maumelle Pinnacles chain. The other two mountains in the chain are Pinnacle and Rattlesnake Ridge.
The area was purchased for conservation for a total of $5 million in 2021, by the state using a combination of state and federal funds, along with $1 million from The Nature Conservancy in Arkansas.
