On Monday, we went to Hare Mountain and the Redding Spy Rock Trail which is beautiful, accessible, and also easy walking. First of all — the trail is only 1.7 miles round trip and just a gradual climb to the overlook. To get there take US 23 (the Pig Trail) to AR 215 and head east a few miles to “Morgan Mountain Road”. Turn left. This road eventual ends up about 600 feet higher on Hare Mountain. After 1.5 miles up the road look for the “Spy Rock” Trail Marker on the left side going north from 215. Find a pull-out to park, and you’re on your way. The lookout rock affords a view of the White Rock Mountain Wilderness, the Mulberry River valley and the tall peaks beyond. There was signs of bear activity on the trail, so be prepared.
