If you have never visited Hawksbill Crag - it's a great place for a hike. My wife and I visited there last weekend. It's a 3 mile hike that ends in some spectacular views. Also, make sure and take a good camera and someone to take pictures (it's more fun with friends anyway), as this is one of the most photographed places in Arkansas.
While many people just focus on the overlook, there are some cool waterfalls along the way that provide some great scenery. I have included pictures below.
To get there from Northwest Arkansas, take Highway 412 East, then down Highway 21 toward Ponca. You will come to an intersection, where you can either turn left and go to Ponca on Highway 43, or go south on Highway 21. Stay south on 21, and go about 1 mile. Right before you cross a bridge over the Buffalo River, you will see a gravel road on the right (Cave Mountain Road - though it's not marked); Go 6 miles up this road (and I mean up) and you will come to the trailhead. There are only a few parking spaces, so most people park on the side of the road.
Also, during your trip be sure to visit the folks at Buffalo Outdoor Center and Lost Valley Canoe and Lodging (they have the best homemade beef jerkey in town), as visiting the locals there is part of the experience.
Pictures below.
