    60090 Cover_46702 Cover 8/5/13 12:27 PM Page 1 Pro Produced in conjunction with TOURS The Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau of Base maps courtesy of Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department LITTLE ROCK 60090 Text_46702 Text 8/5/13 12:29 PM Page A1 TOURS OF LITTLE ROCK PREFACE I grew up on the car line in the Pulaski Heights area of Little Rock. From our house at 3415 Kavanaugh, my brother and I watched the streetcar turn around on “I” Street, if it was not scheduled to continue northwest on the gravel roadbed which began a few blocks from our house. I have seen a lot of changes in 70 years and it is difficult to see all of Little Rock without a guide. This guidebook is my offer to show you around Little Rock. The old street car line climbed 200 feet from downtown Little Rock to the Heights and in doing so, left the Delta and started up the mountains. Spring comes several days earlier in downtown Little Rock than it does in the Heights, and fall comes earlier in the Heights than it does in downtown. The Arkansas River carves a gateway between the Ouachita and Ozark Mountains to the Delta at Little Rock. The terrain drops only 200 feet from Little Rock to the Gulf of Mexico in the south and rises over 2,000 feet in the Ouachitas and Ozarks to the north and west. This varied ter- rain has a lot of sights and action. Little Rock is a paradise for sightseers, hikers, antiquers, histori- ans, sports, food lovers, and all the rest.
