Story:
Our first encounter with Arkansas - what a beautiful state!! We did some hiking in the Hot Springs National Park area. The trail we did actually used to be an exercise trail that doctors and therapists would prescribe to patients coming to the Baths. They were designed with inclines and descents that would help to get your heart going at just the right pace. At the top of the trail there was a lookout with stunning views of the surrounding areas...this is what kept us in Arkansas.

After coming down the mountain we walked through the town of Hot Springs where we saw all of the hotels and hot spots where the gangsters and artists used to hang out - Al Capone, May West, Frank Sinatra, Babe Ruth - all came to hot springs for a little rest and relaxation.
After the hike we went to Quapaw Bath House to sit in the natural hot springs baths. They had four pools, at four different temperatures, along with privates baths and other spa facilities. We sat in the pools for about an hour or so, before touring the National Park Service headquarters which is a old bath house that they have returned to its original charm.
Tips:
When you park, pay attention to which meter is yours...they will ticket you!
