Hi! I am thinking about this trip. Any recommendations? I know we could drive more hours every day but my husband doesn’t want to drive much more than 4 hours every day
Day 1 Austin - Sulphur Springs (or anything closer). Spend the night there.
Day 2 Sulphur Springs - Arkansas.
Sleep there for a few days
Day 3, visit Hot Springs Day 4, Ouachita National Forest, Lake Ouachita State Park Day 5 Petit Jean State Park
Day 6 leave Arkansas towards Sulphur Springs (or near) visit Beavers Bend State Park on our way. Sleep in Sulphur Springs or near.
Day 7 return to Austin
We would not do long hikes. It would be two adults, a 7 year old and a 17 year old. It would be in March, around Spring break
