Hot Springs Mountain Tower
401 Hot Springs Mountain Drive, Hot Springs, United States, 71901We’re now approaching Hot Springs Mountain Tower, one of the absolute must-see attractions in this park.
The observation tower reaches an elevation of 1,256 feet above sea level. From the open-air deck, you can see about 140 square miles of the Ouachita Mountains.
Note: The 10-mile tour covers the essentials of Hot Springs in 3-4 hours.
Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.20 minutes • Admission Ticket Not IncludedView Location2
As we continue along North Mountain Drive, take a second to observe the flora around us. What plants do you notice?
Hot Springs National Park is home to a huge variety of unique plants… including some that can thrive near very hot water! If you visit one of the springs, you’ll likely notice a spongy gray material near the spring opening.

The Gulpha Gorge Trail. From here, you can take a moderate 1.5-mile roundtrip hike to Gulpha Gorge, where a creek tumbles beautifully down a series of low falls. Although you’ll hike downhill to the gorge, you’ll gain several hundred feet of elevation on your way back. Expect to spend at least an hour on this trail.10 minutes • Admission Ticket Not IncludedView Location

In just a moment we’ll reach the trailhead for the Goat Rock Trail. This hike is a moderate two miles and will take about one and a half hours to complete, and leads to the phenomenal Goat Rock Viewpoint, which offers absolutely stunning views of nearby Indian Mountain. In the spring, you’ll also be treated to a spectacular display of wildflowers!15 minutes • Admission Ticket Not IncludedView Location

Coming up on our right is Happy Hollow Fountain. In the 1920s, this was the location of Happy Hollow Springs, one of the craziest, most festive spots in town.
If you’d like, you can take a drink from Happy Hollow Fountain! Unlike Noble Fountain, this water comes out at a nice, cool temperature. 10 minutes • Admission Ticket Not IncludedView Location

We’re approaching the West Mountain Lower Overlook, where we can catch beautiful views of downtown Hot Springs.
I definitely recommend stopping here to take in the views. It’s the second to last overlook of our journey. To visit the overlook, park in the turnout coming up on our right.

Bathhouse Row
Hot Springs, United StatesToday this is a gift shop. But back in the day, it was the Lamar Bathhouse. And unlike all the other bathhouses up and down this avenue, THIS one had special, extra-long tubs -- perfect for anyone over six feet!15 minutes • Admission Ticket Not IncludedView Location8
Buckstaff Bathhouse
509 Central Ave, , Hot Springs, United States, 71901-3596This is one of the best-maintained bathhouses in the park. In fact, it’s one of only two bathhouses where you can still bathe! To hear more, tap Learn More.
