The springs aren't the only thing that's hot around here!
With temperatures in the mid to upper 90s, it's safe to say it is HOT in Hot Springs. Despite the heat, you can still have a safe and fun trip to the park with a little bit of planning!
🥾 Hit the trail early in the morning or later in the afternoon. Avoid hiking or strenuous activity during the hottest parts of the day, 10am-4pm.
☀️ Cover up! Sunglasses, hats, and sunscreen are all the rage this summer.
🚰 Quaff the elixir! No, but seriously, drink your water. Staying hydrated throughout the day is the key to having a good one.
🕰️ Take your time. Find opportunities to rest in the shade or in the air conditioning (👀looking at you, Fordyce Bathhouse Visitor Center).
Follow these tips and you're well on your way to a Hot Springs summer!
