"Very cool peak for the highest point in AR. There is a stone replica of the state of AR, a mailbox with a log you can sign and nice educational boards in Mt. Magazine State Park." — kstu • Aug 16, 2016
"Arriving after nightfall due to an earlier hike at Hemmed-In-Hollow, we did no more than a minimal hike up from the campground entrance. There was snow on the ground which was a bit of a surprise, temperature about 30 deg F. The hike was quite easy, only covering about 0.4 miles in the dark. The area was quite empty, the Mt Magazine lodge may have been 10% occupied, at most." — wbrouhaha • Dec 11, 2011

"Me and my friend Jen drove from Oklahoma on the day of her birthday. It was raining but under the trees we were able to stay mostly dry. Very quick hike Less then 1/2 hour to summit. Would love to go back on a clear day to see more but none the less it was still beautiful hike. Very misty and foggy it was hard to see far. Didn't get to enjoy any beers on this mountain because we wanted to get back and stay dry. We took the longer self guided trail up and then the signal hill trail down to complete the loop back to our car." — elbesto • Oct 27, 2011
"At midnight on July 1, 1991, 5 climbers, Pete Allard, Jim Grace, Shaun Lacher, David Sandway and myself, Dennis Stewart, took their first step off the summit of Mount Rainier and began a climbing marathon to reach the highest point in each of the 48 contiguous states in one calendar month. During the month of July in 1991, the team hiked over 250 miles, climbed over 14 vertical miles and drove over 14,000 miles. Their total time (summit to summit) was 30 days, 10 hours and 52 minutes. All 5 members of the climbing team reached every summit during the month long expedition. Magazine Mountain was the eighth peak climbed on this record breaking trip, which got the team recognition in Guinness Book of Records.
