Rejseplan
Vi nærmer os nu Hot Springs Mountain Tower, en af de absolut must-see attraktioner i denne park. Observationstårnet når en højde på 1.256 fod over havets overflade. Fra det åbne dæk kan du se omkring 140 kvadratkilometer af Ouachita-bjergene. Bemærk: Turen er over 10 + miles lang, med mere end 40 + lyd historier, og tager omkring 2 - 3 timer pr tur til at fuldføre. Oplev den naturlige skønhed af Hot Springs med denne selvguiderede køretur og vandretur. For den bedste oplevelse, medbring hovedtelefoner / øretelefoner til din gåtur. Ny, livslang adgang, ingen udløb. Brug det når som helst, på enhver tur, så mange gange som du vil.
Mens vi fortsætter langs North Mountain Drive, tag et øjeblik på at observere floraen omkring os. Hvilke planter lægger du mærke til? Hot Springs National Park er hjemsted for et stort udvalg af unikke planter ... inklusive nogle, der kan trives i nærheden af meget varmt vand! Hvis du besøger en af kilderne, vil du sandsynligvis bemærke et svampet gråt materiale nær fjederåbningen.
Gulpha Gorge Trail. Herfra kan du tage en moderat 1,5 mil tur-retur vandretur til Gulpha Gorge, hvor en bæk vælter smukt ned ad en række lave fald. Selvom du vil vandre ned ad bakke til kløften, vil du få flere hundrede fods højde på vej tilbage. Forvent at bruge mindst en time på denne sti.
Om et øjeblik når vi stihovedet til Goat Rock Trail. Denne vandretur er en moderat to miles og vil tage omkring halvanden time at fuldføre, og fører til det fænomenale Goat Rock Viewpoint, som tilbyder en helt fantastisk udsigt over det nærliggende Indian Mountain. Om foråret vil du også blive behandlet med en spektakulær udstilling af vilde blomster!
På vores højre side kommer Happy Hollow Fountain. I 1920'erne var dette stedet for Happy Hollow Springs, et af de skøreste og mest festlige steder i byen. Hvis du har lyst, kan du tage en drink fra Happy Hollow Fountain! I modsætning til Noble Fountain kommer dette vand ud ved en dejlig, kølig temperatur.
Vi nærmer os West Mountain Lower Overlook, hvor vi kan se en smuk udsigt over downtown Hot Springs. Jeg anbefaler bestemt at stoppe her for at nyde udsigten. Det er det næstsidste overblik over vores rejse. For at besøge udsigten skal du parkere i vendepunktet, der kommer op på vores højre side.
I dag er dette en gavebutik. Men dengang var det Lamar Badehus. Og i modsætning til alle de andre badehuse op og ned ad denne allé, havde DENNE specielle, ekstra lange badekar - perfekt til alle over seks fod!
Dette er et af de bedst vedligeholdte badehuse i parken. Faktisk er det et af kun to badehuse, hvor du stadig kan bade! Tryk på Lær mere for at høre mere. Men før du slår dig til ro, undrer du dig måske stadig: Læger disse farvande virkelig sygdomme? Er der noget magisk over dem?
Fordyce Bathhouse har fået sit navn fra den Ohio-fødte forretningsmand Samuel Wesley Fordyce. Fordyce kæmpede for Unionen i borgerkrigen. Han fik malaria under sin tjeneste, og det fortsatte med at ødelægge hans helbred i årevis bagefter. Endelig, i 1873, havde han fået nok. Han kom her for at drage fordel af disse varme kilders helbredende kræfter.
Dette badehus med grønne accent er Maurice, som åbnede for erhvervslivet i 1912. Med en taghave, terapeutisk pool og moderne elevatorer var dette den mest avancerede facilitet, der findes.
I dag er det hjemsted for det eneste bryggeri beliggende i en nationalpark og det eneste bryggeri i hele verden, der bruger termisk kildevand i deres øl! For detaljer om bryggeriet, klik på Lær mere.
Før Hot Springs guldalder var dette en ret ubestemmelig servicevej. At gøre det til en fancy Promenade var et forsøg på at forbinde de ekstravagante badehuse med de skovklædte skråninger af dette bjerg.
Et andet fremtrædende træk ved parken i det tidlige 20. århundrede var berømtheder. Det er rigtigt: Denne lille by i Arkansas var et godt sted at få øje på nogle stjerner. Især baseballstjerner!
Dette er det første hospital i hele landet til at behandle både hær- og flådepatienter. Ideen til hospitalet startede med senator John Logan, som besøgte Hot Springs i 1882. Han forestillede sig en medicinsk facilitet, hvor veteraner fra flere militærgrene alle kunne modtage effektiv, overkommelig behandling. Og han mente, at Hot Springs ville være det ideelle sted.
Når du når enden af Grand Promenade ved Reserve Street, skal du kigge efter den lille gårdhave med springvandet. Gå over til springvandet og hold pause. Dette er Noble Fountain, som fødes af en termisk kilde. Hvis du har lyst, kan du faktisk tage en drink fra dette springvand!

Fun walk thru town to see bath houses and upper views of the town. Includes a trip to the tower as well as a second tour on the other side of town! 2 for 1!
Christopher, I’m really glad to hear that my Hot Springs NP GPS Driving and Walking Audio Tour felt like a fun adventure.

It may have been us, however we were turned around on the walking tour as we had trouble figuring out the direction in which the tour was moving along the walk. We ended up hearing all of the stops, just in the wrong order. Can't wait for our next adventure to use this app.
Virginia, I am glad you still enjoyed all the stops on my Hot Springs GPS Driving and Walking Audio Tour, even if a few played in a different order. The walking route follows a suggested direction, but if you start from a different point, jump in midway, or turn around, the audio can trigger based on your location. If you remember, did you begin at the recommended starting point or join the route partway through? That detail would really help us make the flow clearer for future visitors, and we’d love to have you tour with us again!
For someone that does not have any idea on where to start, this is a great way to do it. Step by step this guide was very informative, I purchased it only because I had a credit covering most of the cost but now that I tried it, I would definitely try it in other vacation spots.

Took a while to figure out the app. It would only generate audio through phone and not Bluetooth. And does not play on CarPlay. Once your started it was good and informative. Only glitch was part of the Park was closed due to Government shut down which cut the ship short.
I’m glad to hear that once you got started, the tour was informative. I apologize for the issues with CarPlay. Unfortunately, CarPlay does not currently support my app, but my team is working on making this feature available soon. In the meantime, you can connect to your car stereo directly for audio. Since the tour is valid for a year, you’re welcome to revisit and experience the park in its entirety once it's fully open again.

Good audio with precise directions for both driving and the walking portion. Really fool proof with no delay in directions. The starting point, the city visitor center has paid parking, but limited. Go early.
Debbi, I'm glad you found my Hot Spring audio tour easy to follow, with clear directions for both driving and walking. I appreciate the tip about parking, and you're right—arriving early helps. If you’re planning more scenic road trips, check out my All-In-One California Self-Guided Driving & Walking Bundle Tour, which includes Big Sur, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Joshua Tree, Grand Canyon, and more. Happy travels!
This tour was so much fun! This was our first time to the area and we didn't know where to start, and this was a great way to experience the city! The narrator had a great voice and the information about the bathhouse was very informative. We went to many places we may have missed walking around on our own. We'll definitely look for other tours as we visit around the country! Highly recommend!
Rebecca, I’m so glad to hear you had a fun time exploring Hot Springs with my audio tour. It’s great that the narrator’s voice and the information about the bathhouses made your experience even better. I’m happy the tour helped you discover places you might have missed on your own. If you're looking for more self-paced adventures, check out my other national park tours, including Yellowstone, the Great Smoky Mountains, and more. Happy exploring!
The information provided in audio was well done. The app used to play the audio had a few glitches in that it would repeat a segment after we had advanced on. It was easy to correct by touching the current number of the sight we were in front of.
Hi, I’m glad to hear you found the information informative. I apologize for the glitches you experienced with my app. This can occasionally happen, but it’s great to know you were able to correct it easily. If you have any further concerns or require assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help. If you're looking for more self-paced adventures, check out my other national park tours, including Yellowstone, the Great Smoky Mountains, and more. Happy exploring!
This was advertised as a driving tour. I had my older parents with me. They cannot walk long distances……… hence why we chose the “driving tour“ after purchasing it we find out that more than half of It is a walking tour. It was not advertised properly. And we did not get to experience more than half of it.
Jeremy, I’m sorry to hear about the confusion regarding the walking portion of my Hot Springs NP tour. As mentioned in my listing, the audio tour includes both driving and walking segments, but I’ll recheck the listing to see if I can make the walking part more appealing for future travelers. My tours are valid for a year, so you have plenty of time to revisit the tour or listen to the stories at home from the app. I’m available daily from 9 to 6, so feel free to reach out if a replacement or refund works better for you.
