19. Northwest Arkansas Road Trip

The historic towns, enjoyable hot springs, verdant forests, and an often overlooked national park makes this a great “off-the-beaten-path” road trip. Your adventure begins at popular Hot Springs National Park. Relax at one of the nine bathhouses on Bathhouse Row.

Beautiful Eureka Springs in the awesome Ozark Mountains is next on the agenda to enjoy hiking and hot springs. If you make good driving time, try detouring to Hawksbill Crag on the way. Give yourself between three and five days on this one.

20. West Texas Road Trip

This Texas trip begins in interesting El Paso. Head southeast towards Marfa and feel free to stop to take in the distinctive roadside art stops including the famous Giant movie set installation, the eternally closed Prada Marfa store, and the World’s Smallest Target Store.

Marfa is also home to the exceptional art gallery that features Andy Warhol’s “The Last Supper.” There’s also the town viewing center where people go to see the mysterious bouncing light orbs. Plan on three nights here with one or two more to travel to Big Bend National Park.
