At that point, the OT crosses the Talimena Scenic Drive (Highway 88) over to the north side of Winding Stair Mountain. This is a pretty cool stretch […]
This is where the Ouachita Trail starts. This vigorous 2.4-mile Section 1 segment goes from the western trailhead at Talimena State Park (LeFlore County, Oklahoma) to the spur for the Potato Hill Vista. It is mostly on Winding Stair Mountain.
