Hot Springs Mountain Tower

The Hot Springs Mountain Tower in Hot Springs, Arkansas, offers a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding Ouachita Mountains and the city below. Standing 216 feet tall and situated atop Hot Springs Mountain at an elevation of 1,256 feet above sea level, the tower is a notable landmark.
