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.

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.

Overall a fun road if you like the countryside.
-Road surface is below average. No gaping potholes but is rough and bumpy.
-No services from Columbia to Monticello.
-For scenery, the Red Bluffs are worth stopping for. It was pretty surprising to find something like this in a normally flat area. This road takes you through a pretty isolated area. We saw more wild hogs (five or six) on the road than other vehicles (ONE). Some good country moments-creeks, ponds, pine trees, small rolling hills, etc, to make it enjoyable.
I hope to ride this again next time I'm in the area.
