Just remember one thing when you look at your map, trying to figure out how to get in some more good roads and still get back to work on time: Curvy roads are fun, but they take a long, long time to travel. Better tell the boss you might not be back for a few more days.

Ozark journey
Harrison, Ark. — 158 miles north of  Hot Springs, Ark. on Highway 7

The Skinny
Where: Nearly 160 miles running from Harrison, Ark., to Hot Springs, Ark.
Why: Great curves of all kinds, nice elevation changes, unbeatable views, and unique towns you’d never know were there.
Best Kept Secret: Eureka Springs, Ark., is located just over 40 miles to the west and north of Harrison, Ark., on Highway 62. A city that survives almost completely on tourism, it’s full of bed and breakfasts, hotels, restaurants and watering holes, and its main street shops are a great place to wander on foot.
Scenic Routes: Highway 7 is the scenic route. For more technical curves, try the piece of Highway 74 that heads West out of Jasper. Check the websites listed below for more.
Avoid:Branson, Mo. There’s plenty to do and it’s close by, but if you’re just looking for a place to stay, skip it. The traffic can be horrendous during the summer months.
