25 Hot Springs National P

May 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

We have made our way west to Arkansas, specifically Hot Springs. Hot Springs is a city in the mountains of Arkansas. It’s known for its naturally heated springs. The ancient thermal springs, mountain views, incredible geology, forested hikes, and abundant creeks—all in the middle of town! It also has 8 Bathhouses. Bathhouse Row (#8) was built between 1911 and 1939. “The Row” has been described as the grandest collection of bathhouses of their kind in the nation.

Hot Springs National Park is lovely and has a rich cultural past. It’s 5,500 acres adjacent to the city of Hot Springs. Hot Springs Reservation was initially created by an act of the United States Congress on April 20, 1832, to be preserved for future recreation. We explored this Park for a few days with hikes and bikes!

There is a lot of history from Spring Training to Gangsters. Come check it out!!!!👍🏻

We can’t forget the Hot Springs Mountain Tower. We hiked the Peak Trailhead, which is about 1.5 miles. The trail is a steady incline the whole way, but well worth it. The tower elevator will transport you 216 feet to the observation decks, where you’ll enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Ouachita Mountains, Hot Springs Mountain, and the Diamond Lakes area—all at 1,256 feet above sea level.Read more
