Sightseeing
National Park road just across Whittington Avenue that leads to an overlook of Hot Springs & to the historic Quapaw district. Lovely slow drive. Park rangers make sure it's not a speedway!

Bath house row on Central Avenue is a strip of grand, historic architecture in varying stages of restoration. Our favorite time to explore the "row" is on a rainy night, when we're transported back in time, with colored lights reflecting on the sidewalk. Delightful window shopping.
