Nebo Steps Trail – Mt. Nebo State Park Nebo Steps (.1 mile) and Nebo Springs (.3 miles) are two short trails at Mt. Nebo State Park which connect the rim and bench levels of the mountain. (See here for more about the two levels.) This hike makes a .7-mile loop of the two trails.

Summit Park Trail (Mt. Nebo) near junction with Rim Trail I have hiked quite a bit at Mount Nebo State Park, near Russellville, Arkansas, but until a couple of weeks ago I had never hiked the Summit Park Trail. It’s a trail I should have visited sooner.

Rim Trail at Sunset Point (North End of Mt. Nebo) [Update 2012-02-26: I have added a photo from a February 2012 visit to the south Rim Trail.] Even though I have hiked at Mount Nebo State Park, near Russellville, Arkansas, quite a few times, Saturday was my first time to hike the entire Rim Trail loop. It was very enjoyable.

Bench Trail, Mount Nebo State Park The Bench Trail at Mount Nebo State Park is overall one of the easiest hikes I have done. This 3.7 mile loop trail originally was a road. The vast majority of it could still pass for a road as it is rather level and wide. For that reason, it is pretty popular with mountain bikers.

This is a pretty cool looking event coming up this weekend (May 13-14, 2010) at Mount Nebo State Park. You can do some hiking in the morning and then spend the afternoon at Sunrise Point watching the 11th Annual Spring Hang Glider Fly-In.Link.
