Spent a wonderful day just me and my daughter visiting Crystal Vista Arkansas looking for rocks. Crystal Vista is a favorite place for folks to hunt quart. But for a rock lover and nature lover there's more then just your quartz Crystal hunting here.. Its a free public spot and as you can see from the video its visited by alot of folks but its never been more then a handful when we been there. At the top is a rain washed gully. Surface rocks have been picked over pretty good so u less you come just after a rain you may have to do a little digging. As you can see in video alot of folks have been digging around the tree roots.. personally I think you should leave the trees alone theres plenty of other places to dig. It is a great spot for beginners or just a fun family outing. Its a two mile hike up a trail. Its a easy climb I made it with my 5 and 6 year old grandkids. It is primitive no bathrooms or picnic areas. You need to bring water and snacks with you. If you want to spend out door time with the young kids this is a wonderful place. Be sure to bring bug spray, we did run into chiggers on a previous visit .
