“Hot Springs Is A Tantalizing Destination for Meaningful Events

Hot springs has a long history. Used by First Nation inhabitants, the geothermal mineral waters…are pure and the French Broad River is majestic.  The people in town are friendly. Taking a hike on the Appalachian Trail brings another nod to past innovators who held their determined mission to preserve and protect our country’s beautiful wildernesses.“
