Living up to its billing as “The Natural State”, the state is a nature wonderland with three national forests, nearly 9,000 miles of pristine streams and rivers, awe-inspiring settings in the Ozark and Quachita mountains and sparkling lakes.
The menu of vacation experiences is an exciting one. For great golf, spas, horse racing and the Hot Springs National Park, Hot Springs is the place to go. Outdoor enthusiasts love the Ozark Mountains where activities like canoeing, rafting, kayaking, fishing, hiking and rock climbing are popular. The mountain village of Eureka Springs, with its streets lined with Victorian homes, is brimming with boutiques, antique shops and art galleries. Wine enthusiasts love the Arkansas Wine Country, encompassing the towns of Paris, Ozark and Altus, where German style wines are produced. From its ancient mountains to the Delta flatlands leveled by the Mississippi River, the state has a diverse topography with numerous scenic drives. Try the Pig Trail, Ozark Highlands and Sylamore scenic byways in the Ozark National Forest designated by the U.S. Forest Service. Golfers love the state because greens fees are extremely affordable for great courses. A few excellent public access courses are Sage Meadows in Jonesboro, Stonebridge Meadows in Fayetteville and the Mountain Ranch Course in Fairfield Bay.

A haunting, yet at the same time very moving reminder that, despite the efforts of a few who cannot read or chose to disregard our Constitution, we’re all the same, just different.

Built in 1967, this 7-story memorial statue of Jesus is on the grounds of The Great Passion Play and overlooks Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
The statue reflect how big Jesus is in my life. Nice walk with beautiful scenery. Great weather and not many people.

This is a small site -- the museum is just one room. But I really recommend it. I stopped in because of a personal connection. My grandfather grew up in Paris, and used to tell stories about working in the coal mines as a teenager. My wife and I detoured through Paris on a recent road trip just to see the town and visit this site. I never dreamed that they would actually have so much information about individuals who worked in the mines. The curator who was there helped us find all kinds of information -- dates when my grandfather, great-grandfather, and great uncles worked in the mines, which mines they worked in, and even a newspaper clipping about. The even had an old photograph of the particular mine where my grandfather had worked. Although this seems like a modest site, they really have done a ton of research. The museum, though small, is also really interesting. They have lots of things on display, like old carbide mining lamps and other things that show you what working in the mines was like. Also, admission to the museum is free, though donations are welcome.

Alma has made a really beautiful park type area around the Popeye statue. It is the gem of downtown, really close to the high school.
