The way back takes a bit longer since you're going all up hill. Wear good hiking sneakers. Bring plenty of water especially for the hike back. Follow the trail. Don't try to take any short cuts cuz they aren't short cuts I promise haha ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000424407/b8bc9b62-01e7-4b42-95f5-eb88f5cdf7ac.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Compton ![Whitaker Point in Ozark National Forest, Arkansas 07-03-2017](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635975875093/ce22d6d0-2b11-49be-90fe-59215976fae5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Pettigrew - Cities near Ponca - Places of interest [Compton](https://expedia.ca/Compton.dx3000424407)[Pettigrew](https://expedia.ca/Pettigrew.dx553248635975875093) - [Ozark National Forest ](https://expedia.ca/Ozark-National-Forest-Arkansas.d6096475.Vacation-Attraction) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save on select hotels and earn double points when you book on the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
