Written Directions

This route starts at the intersection of Hwy 7 and Hwy 123 which is about 40 miles north of Russellville, AR in a town called Lurton, AR. From here take Hwy 123 northeast up to Mt Judea.

Scenery

The scenic is great if you get time to look. The switchback are around every corner. So many in fact, trucks are not allowed on this road!

Drive Enjoyment

There are more curves and switchbacks in these 15 miles. The views are great if you can take your eyes off the road long enough to look. Sorry no photos at this time, I was to busy scrapping my sideboards over the 15 miles of turns and, because they don't allow trucks on this road, the road is in great shape.

Tourism Opportunities

No amenities - just curves.

This is a great route. Has everything from great scenery, tight hairpin corners to nice sweeping corners. Don't forget to add the Southern leg of Hwy 123 as it is very awesome ride as well.

We just rode Ar. 123 on sept 12th. Awesome road, and the curves are great. Road surface is in good shape, and I don't have any "chicken strips" left on the rear tire.
