tobyzusa Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Several months ago I asked members of the board to post their favorite Colorado roads. I got great suggestions and then plotted them all on a map and tried to connect the dots into a route. It turned out to be my best trip ever. Can I ask for your help in posting your favorite Arkansas roads? While I’ve done several Arkansas trips, I know I’ve missed many of the “must do” roads. Hoping this thread can be a resource for all just as the Colorado thread was. Thanks in advance for your help. Link to comment

Rinkydink Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 1. Hwy 16 from Clinton through Witt Springs, Ben Hur to Clarksville. 2. Hwy 7 from Hot Springs to Harrison. A few RVs here are possible. 3. Hwy 23 (Pigtrail) from Ozark to Eureka Springs and beyond. Obvious I know. 4. Any backroad route from Hot Springs to Mena and Queen Willimena state park. Includes Tallimena Parkway into OK. 5. Take Hwy 14 N/W from Newport and follow it until it runs off the edge of the Earth... Link to comment

Shawnee Bill Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Hwy 123 from Clarksville to Hasty, then 74 west to the junction with 21 at Boxley, then 21 back to Clarksville. Stop in Jasper for lunch at the Ozark Cafe. Hwy 263 from just west of Big Flat south to hwy 92 east of Greer's Ferry, fun road. Or just pick any road in Northwest Arkansas Link to comment

tobyzusa Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 Mark, That's outstanding. Shows I haven't been a member of the board long enough. Appreciate it. Link to comment
Fencer Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Check out the Eureka Springs Unrally Routes. They were a blast! There are some overlaps in those routes and the ones I have. Those look to be more of a NW corner area and mine are more central and SW. Combine the two and you should have a couple 1000 miles of fun. My largest loop was 280 miles.

W8NONU Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Well, well, planning another trip are we. I will send some routes and info for you later to your email address. I have to get to my desktop to pull up my information. I have been to Arkansas many times and there are great roads with lots of fun to be had. Everything from sweepers to technical switchbacks and even 18% grades if you know where to go. Watch for the email. Link to comment

I hope you are healed and able to get out on the bike again when spring arrives way up there. Brad, I would love to partake of the fun roads in Arkansas. It would not take a lot of arm twisting. I sent an email with some road information. Take a look and ask any questions. Have fun! Link to comment

Have not picked a date as of yet, but thinking a bone chilling January or February date might be good, weather permitting. I'll take a look at your e-mail. Link to comment

tobyzusa Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 Angel, Think January or Febuary. Probably 4 days 3 nights. Still have to work on the route. If some want to go for less time, folks can break off whenever- course they won't get the t-shirt then . More to come. Link to comment
