Hot Springs, Arkansas - July 24, 2005

Early in the day, we made a side trip to Hot Springs.


We took US 270 over from where we stayed in Malvern. [2048x1536]

Then business US 270 into town. [2048x1536]

Arrival in Hot Springs. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

Entering the downtown business district. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

A national park right in a city. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

Bathhouse row. [2048x1536]

There are hot springs like this everywhere. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

Inside the restored bathhouse that now serves as the headquarters and visitor center for Hot Springs National Park. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

Down in the basement, the elevator machinery. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

And spring water tanks. [2048x1536]

And a decorated spring. [2048x1536]

Back outside along bathhouse row. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

Up behind Bathhouse Row, there's a paved walking trail. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

A few springs remain in their natural (or closer anyway) state. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

After walking around, we drove up Hot Springs mountain. [2048x1536]

There's a tower up top, but we had no time. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

Overlook along the mountain road. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

Now on the way out back toward I-30. [2048x1536]
