Hot Springs, Arkansas - Tufa Rock This is one of those minor landmarks meriting mention simply because, in the early days of Roadside America research, we thought it might be important. After all, there was a nice (but cryptic) linen postcard, a painted view of "Tufa Rock" in "Government Park" in our collection of famous rock postcards.
It's just a big boulder with a plaque, in a popular city park called the Arlington Lawn. The plaque concerns the alleged visit in 1541 by Spanish horsemen and Hernando de Soto to the "Valley of Vapors."
Fortunately, Hot Springs offers plenty of other attractions to make a trip worthwhile. [RoadsideAmerica.com Team, 12/12/2007]
