ESSENTIALS
------------
When to go: The best time to visit is either spring( March to May) or fall( late September to early November) for comfortable temperatures, vibrant foliage and fewer crowds compared to summer, making it ideal for outdoor activities like biking. Getting around: Bentonville is an easy place to
drive around, but parking can be tricky in certain parts of the city at peak times. Downtown is compact enough to be explored on foot or by bike. However, it’ s best to rent a car if you plan to explore further afield, such as the Ozarks, nearby cities like Fayetteville or if you’ re heading out on a road trip across other parts of the state of Arkansas.

This sun-dappled spot in the shadow of Roark Bluff, a dramatic sight at over 200 feet high, is a storybook setting for a quintessential Ozark pastime.
