They are called the Ozark Mountains. They are the remnants of a very old mountain range that has mostly been eroded away. Today, they just look like big hills.

The Ouachita Mountains form a major range that consists of ridges and valleys located west central Arkansas and southeastern Oklahoma. Together with the Ozark Mountains, the Ouachita Mountains form the mountainous region known as the U.S. Interior Highlands.

The word Ouachita is a composite of two Choctaw words: ouac which means "buffalo"Â and chito meaning "large" and originated from the large herds of buffalos that once roamed in the region.


Unlike many of the other major mountain ranges in the United States which run north to south, the Ouachitas range runs east to west in the United States.


The Ouachitas is home to the Ouachita National Forest, Hot Springs National Park and Lake Ouachita, as well as a 223-mile-long (359 km) hiking trail through the heart of the range known as the Ouachita National Recreation Trail.
