Written Directions

From Columbia Miss. take Hwy 98 west to Hwy 587 take this Hwy all the way to Monticello.

Scenery

You'll like the scenery on this one. Its very hilly and woody!

Drive Enjoyment

The road quality is fair to good with plenty of elevated twisters ... too many to count.Be careful on this route there are a lot of blind turns there.

Tourism Opportunities

At the beginning you can stop off at Red Bluff and admire the scenery. You can also get something to eat in Columbia but I would wait till I got to Monticello as the fried catfish there is excellent.

This is a good little road with a lot of curves! The surface really leaves something to be desired though; I spent the entire time worring about my grip on the road and not being able to enjoy the ride. Scenery is pretty limited, but there were a few nice "rural Mississippi" moments. All-in-all I wouldn't go completely out of your way to hit this stretch of road, but if you're in the area it's really worth the trip!

Red Bluff was more than I expected. The road(curves/condition) from HWY 587 , near HWY 98, to Red Bluff I thought deserved at least a 6 of 10 rating. The curves after Red Bluff, I thought, deserved a 9 of 10 rating without the gravel. With the gravel in the curves, especially where there was no drive-way, and the need of re-surfacing warrants this section of road to have no more than a 2 of 10 rating. I would do it again.

This is must ride for any biker. You will be amazed at the site. Nothing like this in any other part of Mississippi. Be careful on 587 as there are patches of gravel and sand in areas of this road where drives enter.
