Potato Hills Vista

Potato Hills Vista sits at 1,861 feet along the Talimena Scenic Drive, facing due north, with the land dropping 578 feet within 600 meters of the overlook. The view spans a broad arc to the north, with terrain visible from High Point at 5.7 miles to Pigeon Mountain at 15.4 miles. Closer features include Goats Bluff at 6.8 miles and the Waterfowl Refuge at 9.4 miles, both to the northeast, while Bull Hill rises to the north-northwest at 10.7 miles. Farther out, the sightline takes in Wister Lake State Park and Wister State Park, along with a cluster of higher peaks—Red Oak Peak, Sulphur Spring Mountain, and Red Oak Mountain—positioned to the north and northwest between 13.4 and 15.1 miles out. Poteau lies 25 miles to the northeast, with Pocola and Barling farther along the same direction. Sunrise and sunset times shift across the year, from a 06:07 sunrise at the June solstice to a 07:24 sunrise at both the March equinox and December solstice, with sunset ranging from 17:13 in December to 20:37 in June. Panorama Vista precedes this stop along the route.
