View of Roman Nose Canyon from Inspiration Point on Mesa Loop Trail I recently visited Roman Nose State Park, near Watonga, Oklahoma. The brownish-red canyons and mesas in this semi-arid region of west Oklahoma are very different from the scenery of east Oklahoma or that of west Arkansas. It was a pretty cool trip.

H.L. Dickinson Overlook on East Quarry Trail – Pinnacle Mountain State Park Even though Pinnacle Mountain State Park’s Rocky Valley and East Quarry are listed as separate trails, I would suggest treating them as a single trail. East Quarry Trail is the best part, but you can’t get to it without hiking the Rocky Valley Trail.

Historic Van Winkle Trail – Hobbs State Park-Conservation Area One of the short trails at Hobbs State Park-Conservation Area, near Rogers, Arkansas, is the Historic Van Winkle Trail, a trail on the National Register of Historic Places. The land where Hobbs is located was once owned by 19th century lumberman Peter Van Winkle. The trail features the foundation of the Van Winkle home and that of the Van Winkle Mill and some other buildings.

View of Lake Tenkiller from Tenkiller Multi-Use Trail The Tenkiller Multi-Use Trail is, just like the name says, a multi-use paved trail at Tenkiller State Park in northwest Sequoyah County, Oklahoma. The trail is a pretty easy walk that takes you from the Visitor Center down to the park entrance close to State Highway 100. The trail goes near a number of cabins, a few pavilions, and a fishing pond.

Yellow Rock Bluff – Devil's Den State Park – March 2011 A few weeks ago I hiked the Yellow Rock Trail again at Devil’s Den State Park. This was my first time to hike it with my GPS. The trail is a semi-loop. The first half-mile is a spur which will be repeated on the return trip. On the western end of the loop, there is also a spur leading to an overlook shelter (close to Highway 170). If you do the entire semi-loop and the overlook spur (which I recommend), the hike is about 3.1 miles. 
Yellow Rock Trail – Devil's Den State Park – March 22, 2011 Although the overlook shelter on the western part of the trail is very nice, the most scenic area is the Yellow Rock Bluff.
