Fordyce Steam Bath - a photo on Flickriver

Fordyce Steam Bath

            The original purpose of our trip to Arkansas was to hit Hot Springs National Park - on our quest to get to all 59, er, 61, national parks in our lifetime. 

Hot Springs NP is probably the most unusual park in the system. Nestled in a tiny valley, beginning in 1832, the US government took over some natural hot springs (non-volcanic) and it eventually became the 18th national park in the 1921.

In the 1900s, the area flourished as people came from all over to "take the water". Opulent bath houses popped up and the water - which averages about 143 degrees F - was there to cure them. Or so they hoped. It was interesting to see - as it sits right in the heart of downtown Hot Springs - but it was a wee bit crowded and a wee bit hot on July 5. We should have gone to Cold Springs...
