Comment: Great ride. My wife and I spent a week in Arkansas at the cliff house inn just south of Jasper and this was one of my favorite roads. It was hard to decide because they are all great.

Comment: Highway 21/74 is great road to ride through the Boxley valley area. I particular like the area where highway 21 north drops down into Boxley Valley, great scenery all along the way. Don't forget to take highway 74 east from Ponca to Jasper, very good road and great scenery. Be careful the first couple of miles out of Ponca, very technical with lots of tight curves, watch the oncoming traffic.
