Mountain View bills itself as the Folk Music Capital of the World, and musicians really do turn up around the courthouse square to play. The town is also the hub for Blanchard Springs Caverns, trout fishing on the White River and the Ozark National Forest. Weekend afternoons and evenings in the warmer months are the best time.

Good to know
