2025 has us showcasing State travel, and we’re doing it alphabetically.  Alabama happened on Jan 18th, Alaska on Feb 1st, Arizona on Feb 8th — and as we round out the “A” States — during our live national broadcast of America’s #1 Travel Radio Show on March 1st 2025, the 25th State in the nation — Arkansas — was the focus for our popular “Destination Spotlight” series.

Arkansas anoints themselves “The Natural State” and for good reason.  You will find an abundance of outdoor activities like boating, camping, fishing, hunting, shooting, trapping and more to keep travelers of all types engaged.  In fact, Arkansas is such an outdoors State that it’s a major part of their GDP.  You’ll also find the internationally acclaimed Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art located in Bentonville, while Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro is one of the only true Diamond Mines open to the public in the world where you can go dig for your own treasure.  We’d also urge you to go experience Bathhouse Row and the over 50 Thermal Springs that help make us Hotel Springs National Park in Hot Springs…  And don’t overlook a trip to it’s Capital — Little Rock, as that happening city  continues to grow and deliver new experiences!
