Great hike not too far from the cabin.

Sam’s Throne Sam's Throne is named for Sam Davis, buffalo hunter and firebrand evangelist who in the 1800's would climb to the top of the sandstone butte to preach his brimstone to the valley below. As for the legends of the area, from Old Sam to moonshine, may not be true, the one thing that is fact is the steep abundance of high-grade sandstone for rock climbing. In addition to the "Throne", this portion of the Ozark National Forest is home to several different climbing areas and has become "the place to come" for rock climbing enthusiasts. From Jasper, take Hwy 74 east to Hwy 123. At Mt. Judea when the road turns to gravel, turn here - you are then about 4.3 miles from Sam's Throne. Have a great time but be safe!

This is another one of our favorites. There is an easy short hike around the top side of the cliffs with great vistas and unusual rock formations. The lower trail area is also really neat and fun to explore. This area has multiple trad climbing routes and a few sport climbs as well.

Great place for hiking and trad climbing. The hike from car to point is 5 minutes. Perfect time to go to Sam's Throne is at sunset. It's on the other side of Jasper so it takes about 45 minutes to get there from Cottage. It's a great short hike with a great view for people that aren't necessarily in shape.
