Written Directions

Arkansas highway 27 from Danville to Glenwood. both ends are close enough to Hot Springs to make a great day trip.

Scenery

Outstanding views traveling parallel to highway 7 ... the south end also runs along the Caddo River.

Drive Enjoyment

Sweepers lead you to short bursts of twisties. outstanding road with almost no traffic.

Tourism Opportunities

Few if any amenities however the south end is near the Crater of Diamonds.

Great roads!! Scenery great as well! Ride not as challenging as I anticipated but was still fun . Curves but are sweeping long curves. Road was like new good part of route. Woo we counted over 20 deer on side of road at dusk. Good cheap no frills but clean motel in mt ida was great

Rode 27 from Russville to Mt. Ida. Great road and as said before, light traffic. Plenty of switch backs and a couple hairpins, but not super technical. Recommend matching this ride up with AR 7 and making the loop through Hot Springs.

Great Ride for those that like the twisty stuff. We ran this one from bottom to top on our way to Mt. Magazine. beautiful scenery and very little traffic.

The section just south of Rover and just south of Danville are by far the best.
