Visitors of the popular walking trail on the campus of Arkansas State University Mountain Home (ASUMH) will soon have their path illuminated by a solar lighting project that began installation last week.

The project, which has been made possible in part by funding through the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT), has been a few years in the making according to ASUMH Chancellor Dr. Bentley Wallace.
