Beginning at Reserve Street, just beyond a series of duplexes and a stately white building, this brief climb to the intersection with the Dead Chief Trail offers a short cut to the Gulpha Gorge Campground. Originally built in 1926 as the beginning of the Dead Chief Trail, the name was derived from the park’s designation as a reservation in 1832.

Did You Know?
Hot Springs, Arkansas, was the premier baseball spring training site from the 1880s-1940s. The Chicago White Stockings, Cincinnati Reds, Pittsburgh Pirates, Boston Red Sox and others came to soothe their aching muscles at the many bathhouses using Hot Springs National Park water.
