how close are hotels

This park is mere minutes from HotSprings and it's even got a National Park!
There are definitely some good eats that shouldn't be missed in HS!

We always stay at the KOA its only about 5-6 miles from the park. The poeple that run the campground are good people. Nice cabins and supper clean bath houses.

Most of the hotels (motels) close to the park are dumps (Knights Inn). The KOA is pretty good though, if that's what you're looking for. My wife and I have started staying here when we go up: http://www.comfortsuites.com/hotel-hot_springs-arkansas-AR160 Of course I'm a woman when it comes to accommodations.... laughing1

It's at the intersection of Central Ave. and the Bypass that leads to the park. It only takes about 15 minutes to get the park from here via the bypass.

Well today XJPaddler and myself cut one new hill. This Bounty Hill should be a good one. Pictures just don't do it justice.

And the trail down to the hill... The Bounty Hill is only 50 yards from main Park Rd. ( fairly easy recovery... )

I reckon we'll see if any Southeastern Boys will claim the Bounty

I threw the First 100.00 in the kitty...attention ALPHA GORILLA has put an ADDITIONAL 400 bones on the hill

THAT'S five HUNDRED DOLLARS boys and girls!!!

Should prove to be quite entertaining after the comps are done ;)

Bring your HORSEPOWER

Yea, it was left without a name..... the Cat who climbs it.... NAMES IT!!!!!



[size=30pt]Competitors get first shot... all the guys names competing will put in a hat and Drawn to see who get FIRST shot at the hill
if guys don't want the chance, they'll have their name removed from the Hat, that's the only fair way I see to do it... SEE YOU THERE

anyone who is planning on competing needs to shoot an email to [email protected] and I'll get you on the list. I'm not sure how many or when the Cut-off will be.... So shoot me some mail if ya coming after the MONEY :driving:
 
Re: First Annual Gorilla Run @ Superlift in Hot Springs AR FEB. 17-19

Being the hospitable guy that I am, will be glad to let you southeast boys take a run at it first since superlift already has a trail named Jenny Craig it might be confusing to have two trails with the same name. lol
 
Re: First Annual Gorilla Run @ Superlift in Hot Springs AR FEB. 17-19

Whats the shedule for that weekend? What day/times are the comps?
 
Re: First Annual Gorilla Run @ Superlift in Hot Springs AR FEB. 17-19

Sat will be the competition around 10am with a drivers meeting at 9:00am. After comp there will be open tries at the bounty hill. Smokin N Style will be serving ribs, beef and pork for BBQ sandwiches with beans, baked potato salad and banana pudding around 6:00 and Aaron Owens Band playing that night. Sun is open trail rides. There will be event tshirts and hoodies as well as Alpha Gorilla Clothing on sale all weekend. I'm going to keep competitors around 35 so make sure you sign up so we can get you a competitors package mailed to you before the weekend. Any questions feel free to email me [email protected].

Re: First Annual Gorilla Run @ Superlift in Hot Springs AR FEB. 17-19

Questions from spectators? are we allowed to drive non-competing 4x4's and atv's to the competition sites? will the park be open to riding on other trails on saturday ?
