Mount Ida is a place that lies deep within Ouachita National Forest, which is one of the most famous national parks in Arkansas. Due to the city’s proximity to the mountains, many people come to visit every year, whether this be to take in the stunning natural scenery, or to explore the hiking trails that run over the rocky land. With such scenery comes an array of outdoor recreation options that people of any age can enjoy. For a truly special day out, head to the Wegner Quartz Crystal Mines, where you can catch a glimpse of the area underground. If you would like to go hiking, you can follow the many trails in the forest, which will wind you deeper into the wilderness.
