In Transit Blog: At Ozarks Lodge, Natural History (and Golf)

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 20 Mei 2014 | 17.35

Big Cedar Lodge in the Ozark Mountains in Missouri, will introduce a recreational and cultural complex called Top of the Rock in June that will feature a natural history museum, several restaurants, spa, golf courses and even a chapel.

With clear views of the mountains and Table Rock Lake, Top of the Rock is accessible from the main resort by a 2.5-mile nature trail; guests may use resort-provided electric carts.

The formal entrance to the 462-acre extension starts at the four-story Lost Canyon Cave, a natural formation accessorized with an elevator, waterfall, several balconies and a cave bar. Those athletically inclined can tee off at the cliff-top, three-part golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Tom Watson.

An Ozarks natural history museum showcases carbon-dated skeletons of a Missouri mammoth, cave lion, and a ground sloth in the lobby (an entrance fee applies). Dioramas of prehistoric creatures that once roamed the area can be viewed on the lower level, as well as Native American and Osage Indian artifacts.

There is also a varied dining scene: Arnie's Barn — a casual Mexican restaurant — is a reconstructed wooden barn that was disassembled by hand in the Pennsylvania hometown of Mr. Palmer. The Osage restaurant features American-style cuisine, an all-American wine cellar as well as whiskey and cigar and Cognac rooms.

There is also a gothic-style wedding chapel with steeple bell tower, and a honeymoon cabin graces one edge of the extension. European-style treatments will be offered at the full-service Cedar Creek Spa, which has a stone-walled indoor grotto pool.

"Top of the Rock is the highest point in the county, and I have a lot of emotional and personal attachment to the area," John Morris, founder of Bass Pro Shops and owner of the resort, said in a telephone interview. "It is exciting to showcase our part of the world and connect people to nature and to our past," he said.

All of these upgrades won't mean steeper lodging rates at the original 246-room resort, where prices start from $179.
