The Ozark Bathhouse - Hot Springs National Park
The Ozark Bathhouse
Bathhouse Row

Of course one of the main things to do at Hot Springs National Park is to go to bathhouse row and experience the springs. People have flocked to the area since the mid 1800s to experience the healing powers and just plain comfort from the hot natural water. Bathhouse row started then and has changed in some ways and stayed the same in some. Of the eight original buildings on the row; one is now the visitor's center and two (I think) function as bathhouses.

View From the Top
View - Hot Springs National Park

View

There is a nice drive up one of the mountains belonging to the park right near bathhouse row. The road is very twisty with tight turns but the view at the top is worth it.

Viewing Tower
Tower - Hot Springs National Park

Tower

At the top of the mountain is a viewing tower. The tower is run by a private organization and was fairly expensive. The view from the free viewpoint was good enough for me.

    I got a postcard showing the US National Park. Famous for hot springs, thus the name, I guess :)
