- In this video my wife and I return to Eureka Springs, AR to camp and explore. I ride my Yamaha TW 200 through town and explore an abandoned hotel as well as several historical sites. We eat pizza at the Crescent Hotel and burgers at the Basin Park Hotel. Later we visit Christ of the Ozarks and watch an awesome sunset. In the video I mention Famous Dave's. It is actually called Famous Ed's. Sorry for the confusion.

Cool video, thanks for sharing. Eureka is one of my favorite places! I have quite a few vids from the Crescent Hotel on my channel!
It’s one of our favorite places to visit. Thanks for watching.
Eureka is a great little community
Yes it is. It’s one of our favorite places to go in Arkansas. Thank you for watching.
I live 28 miles from Hot Springs, but prefer taking trips to Eureka Springs because of the architecture and things to see. Love it there. We usually stay at the 'New Orleans or 'Grand Central' hotels.
It is a unique place. I’ve never stayed at the hotels there but I have visited them. I love the old architecture as well. Thanks for watching.
My hometown. I love this town.
It is a beautiful place. One of my favorite to visit. Thank you for watching.
A few fun facts about Eureka Springs : The auditorium was featured in a movie titled "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammo" shot in (I believe) the late 1980's. In the final scene, they blew all the windows out of the south side of the building. The old train depot was featured in the movie "The Blue and the Gray", shot in the early1980's. When building the statue of the Christ of the Ozarks, the body was being completed when the FAA came along and told them the finished height was going to be too tall and would need a red blinking light on top. They lowered the body before attaching the arms and head. That is why things look slightly out of proportion. The Carnegie Library was built on a raised stone platform, which supported a gazebo which had stairs leading up to the Crescent Hotel. That gazebo inspired the design of one built at the East Mountain Lookout in 1990-91. In the late 1970's-early 1980's the then owner of the Basin Park Hotel bought one of Elvis Presley's cars and had a crane hoist it up and into the top floor of the hotel, to be used as a tourist attraction. I believe it was a Lincoln Continental Convertible. The Flatiron Building is a newer replacement of the original, which burnt in 1890. It was replaced by one that also burnt. The one standing now, is a copy of a copy, of a copy :)
Thank you for the information. Eureka Springs is a very interesting and unique place. It is one of our favorite places to visit.
Yeah I remember pass the ammo!
This is awesome, thanks for sharing!
No problem. Eureka Springs is a beautiful place.
I've lived in Berryville since I was 6 years old and it's still amazes me the town of eureka springs
There’s not another one like it in Arkansas.
Very well done, from a "Native Eurekan"
Thank you. I love history and Eureka is rich with it.
Eureka Springs is my Happy Place. I try to visit every year, sometimes twice. It's a place where all the stress and anxiousness of every day life just drops away and you can find peace and tranquility ! Everyone should visit at least once !!!
I couldn’t have said it better. I go for the same reasons. Thanks for watching.
I’ve taken multiple vacations to Eureka Springs over the years. It has a magical feel for me.
My last trip was in 2017. I had another trip planned right when the pandemic broke out and canceled.
I saw where a number of my favorite places to dine have gone out of business. I hope to return to visit. If I could afford to move there I’d do so in a heartbeat.
It is a beautiful place. Some places have closed but when we were there last September there were still quite a few open. Thank you for watching.
That is the most interesting street parking I have seen! Took me a moment to figure out what I was seeing.🤪🤭
It’s all on a steep hill. Most unique town in Arkansas in my opinion. Thanks for watching.
@@lawman1192000 I was talking about parking only one side of the road (because the narrow street) that I have seen but not the one sided parking with cars parked in both directions.😹😹😹😹 Great video by the way.❤️🔥
@@TBoss3313 Yeah, it’s unusual. Thank you.
What a wonderful place to spend a weekend. I was looking at a the roadside place as you rode along on the bike. The statue of Jesus looks like the one in Rio de Janeiro.
It is a beautiful place to visit. They are known as a honeymoon and anniversary destination. I didn’t mention it but near the statue they have an outdoor play about the passion of Christ. Very awesome experience.
@@lawman1192000 Saw the Passion Play when I was a child. My Dad has passed, but I am taking my 95 year old Mom back in a few weeks. Thank you for the awesome video!
@@tammiehaubner2240 No problem. I hope you and your mom enjoy your trip. Than you for watching.
Terrific overview 🆙
Thank you.
Love the video - - I took that ride Fall, 2021 on my Last Great Road trip - - - I used to call this MY TOWN - - thanks (music too loud)
Thanks. I was still learning the music at the time. It’s better in my more recent videos.
A good place to take a vacation.
Yes it is. We love it up there. Thanks for watching
Thank you so much for this awesone video! I love Eureka Springs! You put in alot of work to make this video! I would like to know more about your bike. Love the Crescent Hotel!
Thank you. It’s a Yamaha TW200 dual sport. My wife and I love Eureka Springs too. Unfortunately we didn’t get to go up this year. Thank you for watching.
@@lawman1192000 we live about 3 hkurs away and I live the pizza at the Crescent. Thanks for the heads ulp in the bike it looked like it would be fun there with it.
@@kellyhays6425 I would love to take it off-road up there sometime.
been watching the haunted crescent hotel vids, came to check out more about the town, beutiful!!
It is a beautiful town. One of our favorite places to visit. Thank you for watching.
Awesome abandoned motel!! Subscribed!
Awesome but sad. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
It has been torn down and removed.
I'm thinking about leaving NW Illinois for NW Arkansas. Exploring the area from an RV park on a TW 200 seems perfect for me to start. Seems like a great area. Thank you for the video!
It is beautiful. Especially in the Spring and Fall. I think you will enjoy it. Thank you for watching.

My family originates from there. Did a hard running race there once. Victorian Classic, I think it was. First 2 miles were downhill and fast, BUT, that means ya gotta go back up some steep hills.
Yeah, the hills there are very steep but it’s a beautiful place. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for visiting. Some of the historical information given is inaccurate but only natives would know the difference.
No problem. Most of the information I got out of an old book my mother had about Eureka Springs. Please let me know what was inaccurate and I may try to correct it in a future video.
I iive about 30 min from Eureka. Very beautiful spot. My profile pic is from Eureka and I make alot of videos in that area!
You are very lucky to live in such a beautiful area. Hopefully we’ll make it up there again sometime next year. Thank you for watching.
Beautiful area,is Eureka Springs prone to tornadoes??
Arkansas has it’s share of tornadoes but not as many as Oklahoma which is in Tornado Alley. With that said, I don’t remember ever hearing of a tornado hitting Eureka Springs.
Not to be rude I live in Berryville which is 14 miles east of eureka springs I was curious and looked it up the one in eureka springs is 66 and 1/2 ft tall and the other only one in the world is in Rio de Janeiro 99 ft tall
Wow. That’s not rude at all. Thank you for the information. I think that is pretty awesome.
@@lawman1192000 not a problem I'm surprised you responded back so quickly but yeah eureka springs is an amazing town! Next time you're around the area maybe summertime you should go down to trigger Gap Kings River outfitters rent a canoe and float the Kings River! It's an awesome rewarding experience floating the river they supply the canoes and shuttle it's amazing!
@@tonydenney2139 Thank you. I may try that.
to much of a radical left town, no thanks
I just admire the beauty and ignore the politics.
Probably why it's so nice
