Known as The Natural State, Arkansas’ diverse geography ranges from the mountainous regions of the Ozark and the Ouachita Mountains to the densely forested land in the south known as the Arkansas Timberlands to the eastern lowlands along the Mississippi River and the Arkansas Delta. The latter is where the blues were born and a young Johnny Cash began his musical journey. You can even dig for precious stones – and keep what you find – in the Crater of Diamonds State Park.
