Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas

America has a national spa? Who knew? It’s true, and you will find it at Hot Springs National Park. This place is not your average national park. The hot springs were discovered, and then a town grew up around it, making it a more urban experience than a wild one. Choose between a more public pool type of environment, or head for your own private bathtub of natural spring water, modeled after European spas of the 1900’s. Now that’s how relaxation is done! You can also tour the historic bathhouse and see how it was done back in the day, and hike on the 26 miles of scenic trails meandering through the park. Afterwards cozy up in the nearby campsite to end your day of pampering in style!
