But the numbers are deceiving. A few minutes on relatively uncrowded highways (Interstates 30 and 40 are the major routes), get you swiftly away from the people and into the great outdoors that is most of 54 Local Area Outside the Gate Arkansas. An assignment to Little Rock AFB offers the best of both worlds. You’re close to a thriving metropolitan area, yet fresh air and adventure are just a short distance away. There is much to be said for both.

Road Trips Ramble on down the Great River Road and across the Rock ’n’ Roll Highway and through the Delta to experience the places that nurtured legends of country, rock and blues. Enjoy authentic down-home foods, historic plantations and exciting gaming along the way. Devil’s Den State Park is nestled in a picturesque valley in northwest Arkansas’ Ozarks. Hiking and backpacking trails access backcountry areas of the park and the surrounding Ozark National Forest. The much-celebrated Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is open in Bentonville, along with many other sights and sounds to delight your senses. Founded by Alice Walton, the daughter of Walmart founder Sam Walton, the museum offers free admission and many special exhibits, some specifically geared to kids. With glorious outdoor trails to explore, as well as the indoor collection of art, it’s easy to spend an entire day here.

Arkansas State Parks With more than a little justification, Arkansas describes itself as “The Natural State.” Bolstering that claim is a system of 51 state parks — with a 52nd park under construction — celebrating the outdoors, the heritage and the history of the state. Whether you want a picnic with the chance to capture an afternoon breeze to fly a kite, fishing, water skiing, hiking, climbing mountains, exploring Indian mounds, reliving Civil War battles or much more, there is something in the Arkansas state park system that fits your needs. Close to Little Rock, for example, is Pinnacle Mountain State Park, about a half-hour drive west of the city. This is a day-use-only park with picnic areas, a wonderful field of grass just made for flying kites, and several short trails for hikes of up to two hours duration. Once you’re at its peak, it seems you can see the whole state of Arkansas. A bit farther west, about an hour and 15 minutes from Little Rock, is Petit Jean State Park, the first park brought into the state park system, which was created 75 years ago. There’s a lot of camping here, both with and without hookups, and some great trails. Be sure to take Red Bluff Drive, a gravel road running around the remote part of the park. A couple of overlooks along the route offer sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. As for hiking, head down into the canyon to get close to Cedar LITTLE ROCK 2013 AFB GUIDE Local Area Outside the Gate 55
