Road Scenery:

This
route used to be the only link to north west Arkansas.
It offers impressive mountain vistas. Along the way are
small mountain towns, roadside farms, antique and other
shops. At Winslow your can take a detour over to Devil's
Den by heading west of Rt 74. The route was once an old
stage coach line and has some impress small towns like
Mountainburg, Winslow, and West Fork. Mount Gaylor I believe
to be the highest point with an old watch town sitting
along side the highway. This used to be one of the highlights
of Hwy 71 till I-540 took most of the traffic.
