Dude , tank status <| sep |> It ' s really an underrated state . The Ouachita and Boston mountains were gorgeous and had this interesting hillbilly vibe but I say that in a good way . Hot Springs was really nice and Eureka Springs was quaint as all get out but also small and there was this weird religious place next door that was like an Evangelical ' s Las Vegas or something . Little Rock was also a nice and pleasant city and I enjoyed visiting the Capitol and Clinton Library . You ' re right about the east . When I first came into Arkansas from SE Missouri I was a tad disappointed . I thought there ' d be nice scenery but it was just like SE Missouri . But once we went west and northwest of Little Rock it all started and it was all very pretty .
