Hot Springs National Park and Bathhouse Row: Everything You Need to Know About Hot Springs, Arkansas

What if one of the best destinations for DINKs (Dual Income, No Kids) in the country was a place that probably never crossed your mind?Join us as we explore Hot Springs National Park and Hot Springs, Arkansas, a city and a national park so intertwined you genuinely cannot tell where one ends and the other begins. We hiked through the Ouachita Mountains in the morning, soaked in a private thermal bath in the afternoon, drank beer brewed from the same spring water that has flowed beneath the city for centuries, and walked a historic street with over 100 years of stories. We also brought our dog, Peppermint Patty, on her very first national park hike, nearly skipped the visitor center and almost immediately regretted it, and came away convinced that Hot Springs belongs near the top of every DINK travel list.Nathan and Alicia, your married DINK couple hosts, share where we stayed, our favorite eats and drinks, the thermal bath experience at Quapaw Baths and Spa, the Beer Bath Taster flight at the only brewery in the world inside a national park, the history of Bathhouse Row and Motel Row, and why the Fordyce Bathhouse visitor center and museum is the one stop you absolutely cannot skip even if you are short on time.As always, we end with takeaways on making adventure part of your everyday life such as a "short visit is always better than no visit!" and "Go do the thing!" Marrying Your Passions is hosted by Nathan and Alicia Adams, a married DINK couple who travel, run marathons, and eat and drink their way through life together.
