Written Directions

The closest starting point town is Poteau, OK. From Poteau, take Witteville Drive northwest as it leads you under the Cavanal Scenic Expressway. The road will wind a bit and come to a fork in the road where you will need to veer left (there will be a lake on the left) ... here is where you get on Co Rd D1340 (Caval Hill Rd) and start your route. Just take it to the top of the hill ... about 5 miles total.

Scenery

It's the highest hill in the world so the views are all spectacular. Two good spots for photo ops.

Road Quality

The pavement is rough in spots. You've got to have a pair between your legs to tackle this steep and twisty road - it ain't no interstate! Once you start the route (where you veer to the left at the fork in the road) - you'll pass a small lake on your left and then hold-on 'cause the ascent begins right after that! This is NOT for the faint of heart or unskilled! Weenies can stay at home!
