A fast-growing college town of 62,000 in the Ozark foothills, Fayetteville is flush with youth, culture and natural beauty — especially in spring, when the redbuds and dogwoods are in bloom and the University of Arkansas students emerge to frolic in the warm weather. Get there before it’s too hot to hike the lush, forested trails that braid the area. Stroll through the leafy campus and holler “Woooooooooo, Pig! Sooie!” at the 72,000-seat Reynolds Razorback Stadium (but beware: hotels are already booked for the fall football season). Soak up the atmosphere that entranced a young Bill Clinton.

Oh, GREAT. Now what, tourists?!
