I ride a Salsa El Mar 3 29er. I won't ever get rid of it, because it's a cult collector's bike these days... but I'm going to either go full suspension or something with more aggressive, slack geometry for a second bike. We're down in Cpsta Rica currently, and I just rode a Scott hardtail that's pretty slack... and damn it was fun. Was throwing that bike around like crazy.
My youngest son has really gotten into riding, so we tend to ride everywhere we go, now. I'm still cutting video from our ride down here today, but here's some video from Santa Fe in March.

You have some really cool stuff in your area as well, I've been up and down the paved trails from Bella Vista to Springdale, but not all the way to Fayetteville. What I've rode is some of the best anywhere. There's all kinds of dirt I've yet to have the chance to check out yet as well. Need to get back down that way again soon. |

Anything you'd recommend when I get back down there? Keep in mind I'm old and #1 priority is not getting hurt. I've seen bits and pieces of the dirt trails and some of it looks pretty intense. |

The Back 40 Loop is pretty awesome, and it has some features similar to what you posted there, but they're always optional. Here's a good sampling from a ride there: You probably don't want to do Coler, hah (this guy is from KC, and his channels is great. He posts some great videos of the trails around there):
