It is a mountain, the largest portion of the greater Petit Jean Mountains, but the park is just called Petit Jean State Park. A mesa is just a mountain (or hill) that has a flat top instead of a peak. My grandparents lived on the mountain when I was growing up, so a lot of my childhood was spent at the park and at their house. My grandpa was a security guard at the Museum of Automobiles for a long time.
Hey thanks for watching! I have always called it a mountain and believed that but the ranger giving the presentation said that technically it was a Mesa. I'm happy with either as I don't really know. it is a beautiful place and a must visit kind of place.
