The U.S. Forest Services has announced a number of new land purchases. One of them will connect part of Missouri’s Mark Twain National Forest to the Ozark National Scenic Riverways.
Cavanal Hill is in Poteau, in Southeast Oklahoma. It is promoted as the “tallest hill in the world.”
The U.S. Geological Survey refers to it as “Cavanal Mountain” and notes that its elevation is 2,385 feet.
If you ever visit Poteau, you can’t miss Cavanal Hill. It is by far the most prominent natural feature of the surrounding area. In fact, it is easily viewable from many parts of Fort Smith, about 25 miles away.
Although I have been in and through Poteau many times, I have never been up on Cavanal Hill. My understanding is there are not any trails going up the mountain. Please send me a line if I am incorrect on that.
This is a short video from Discovery Oklahoma with some more information about Cavanal Hill.
Back on March 21, I had a nice visit to Natural Falls State Park, near West Siloam Springs in northeast Oklahoma. The highlight of the park is Dripping Springs (aka Natural Falls), one of the tallest waterfalls in Oklahoma.
Here are three cell phone videos I took of the falls. (The third one is after the jump.)
