Made the trip to Red Bluff yesterday and on up to Monticello. Nice ride. Some of the curves surprised me. It was a welcome change from all the flat roads I'm used to here in south MS.

Also beware of gravel and sandy patches in the low points of curves and at sideroads and driveways.
587 has been moved a few times because the bluff has been eroding it away. It is a must do ride if you are in the area.

Easily a 9 out of 10 compared to many of the roads in Southern MS and LA. Hwy 587 between Columbia and Monticello is an amazing ride with plenty of twisties to keep you on your toes. The route provides good elevation and relief with fast sweepers, tight 90 degree turns, and blind corners. You can maintain decent speed through the entire route with road signs providing accurate information about upcoming corners. The road condition is okay but not great. The asphalt has eroded in many places leaving tan surfaces that are difficult to discern between hard surface and gravel. These patches can be a bit unnerving in the corners, but overall, very few turned out to be gravel. This is a "must ride" route if you like corners.
