Michael Storey came across this sight during one of his Happy Trails rambles in the state. Do you know where it is?
Hint: This one-mile loop trail passes a unique outcrop of nepheline syenite, a commercially important rock that looks like granite. Arkansas is the only place in the world where bedrock "neph sye" is exposed in a forest. The dry land creates an unusual ecosystem favored by the rare small-headed pipewort.

Hint 2: The area once held a public housing project named for Joseph A. Booker, the first president of Arkansas Baptist College.
