Eureka Springs Arkansas

Eureka Gras

Marti Gras in Eureka, very cool. Here is some more info...http://krazo.ureeka.org/

Located downtown Eureka Springs. Highly recommended. When we pulled up in front of the Hotel the valet greeted us, took our luggage to the room and parked the car. Be aware there is no elevator, which was not a problem for us. Our suite was on the top floor facing the street in front of the hotel. The breakfast each morning was excellent. The staff is great.

Eureka "Springs"

Eureka Springs got its name from the many natural springs around the city. Here are some I have visited.

Gazebo Overlook

The East Mountain Overlook offers some spectacular views.

The Big Giant Jesus

What can I say! I do believe that if the BGJ fell on you it would be a straight shot to heaven.

Eureka Springs & North Arkansas Railway

I have never rode the train but I love going to the station and looking at all the trains and implements. The dinner train is on my list of things to do.

Trolley Cars

http://www.cityofeurekasprings.org/transit.html

Eureka Springs can be a hard city to get around, the roads twist and turn and if you are new to the city it is easy to get turned around and not know where you are. Also when driving, the driver misses a lot of the sight seeing opportunities. The trolley system offers a great solution, buy a ticket and ride all day. You can go all over town and even most if not all attractions even on the out skirts of town. Also great to ride into town if you are going to have a few drinks, don't have to worry about a designated driver! I recommend trying the trolleys for at least one day of your stay.

Crescent Hotel

Wow, the Crescent Hotel is awesome. They have plenty of free parking. The history of the hotel is incredible, and quite lengthy. Briefly, it was built as a hotel, was a college for girls, spent time as a experimental cancer treatment hospital and is now a hotel. Oh yeah, it is haunted. It is a great place to stay. They have a very professional ghost tour of the hotel, the restaurant offers great service and wonderful food, the trolley stops right in front of the hotel(check out my post on the trolleys), carriage rides are available at the front door... The room that I stayed in had been recently remodeled and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel was featured on the ghost hunter show "TAPS" and they captured some amazing video. If you are looking for a hotel type visit, not in the middle of downtown, the Crescent Hotel is a great choice.
