Written Directions

Easy to find and follow. Just start out in Dardanelle, AR and head west on AR State Highway 155.

Scenery

This road includes 4 miles of rolling hills and then a very steep climb. The mountain scenery is awesome. There are tons of deer on top, but you'll ride so slow they are not a problem. Views of the valley below are breath-taking.

Drive Enjoyment

The 3 miles to the top have the most steep hairpin curves you've ever seen in your life. This is no road for novices. These are 1st gear turns. The surface isn't bad.

Tourism Opportunities

There's a park store on top. You're only 7 miles from town. There is a nice state park on top. They rent nice cabins if you love it and want to stay.

Sorry, but I can't get on board with this ride. The only reason I take it is to go to Mt. Nebo. It's a few miles of fairly straight road, followed by about nine switchbacks up the mountain. And let's face it, a 10 mph switchback is only interesting because it's different, not because it's fun. You have switchbacks up Mt. Judea, but that's followed by several miles of great curves.

Man, Oh, Man! Absolutely beautiful views from the top! This is a 2 mile route from the bottom to the top and according to the published information there are 11 switchbacks. I forgot to count but it's certainly not for the faint of heart. As mentioned in other reviews, it's an 18% grade. I'm glad we didn't know this going in or we might not have attempted it but I'm glad we did and will go back. It's worth it.

Rode this Summer of 2020 so I no longer remember where I picked up my to-go breakfast, but breakfast sitting on top of a bench on top of Mt Nebo is highly recommended. When you hit the road coming back down there's a sign that reads 18% grade... the pic of that sign with the road dropping out of sight in front of you is worth the ride all by itself.
