From the intersection at Hwy. 64 and Hwy. 155, it's about three miles of rolling hills and one wall of work between you and the top of Mount Nebo. Rising 1,350 feet, it's a very challenging ascent with several sharp switchbacks.
Petit Jean Mountain is a must for the iconic state park at the top. Hwy 154 rises out of the valley and winds up the isolated mountain between the Arkansas and Petit Jean rivers.
