With nearly 100 miles of trail in Bella Vista, having a place to stop is key. Located near the trailhead of the Back 40 trail system and in Blowing Springs Park is a special stop with one of a kind beer.

• Beer Garden: The Gear Garden, which had its grand opening last week, is officially open for business, stocked with special edition Trailhead Lager by Bentonville Brewing Co.
• Time to chill: Open from 2p-dusk Wednesday-Sunday, this spot might have some of the best Ozark vibes in the region for an early happy hour. We won't tell the boss.
