Ozark Highlands

The Ozark Highlands mountain range stretches across four states in the central United States. The range is believed to have formed around 300 million years ago, and has a unique geology characterized by limestone caves, springs, and sinkholes. The highest peaks in the range include Mount Magazine in Arkansas and Buffalo Lookout in Missouri, both of which rise to over 2,700 feet. The range is also home to several notable rivers, including the White River and the Buffalo National River, which offer excellent opportunities for recreation and fishing. One of the most interesting features of the Ozark Highlands is the abundance of natural springs, many of which are believed to have healing properties. In fact, the region is home to several well-known health resorts that have been in operation for over a century. The Ozark Highlands are also home to a diverse array of flora and fauna, including many species that are unique to the region.
