Rattlesnake Ridge, one of the most dramatic rocky summits in the eastern Ouachita Mountains, rises in Pulaski County just west of Pinnacle Mountain State Park.² Potential natural vegetation in Arkansas’s Ouachita Mountains is oak–hickory–pine forest.³ Pine was virtually ubiquitous in the historical forests of the Ouachitas, and shortleaf pine there grows with a variable mixture of hardwood species in nearly all cases.⁴
