Highway 74 is a great road. I take it quite often from highway 23 east through Kingston to the Boxley valley and up to Ponca. Don't forget to look for the elk in Boxley Valley if it is early morning or late evening. You will know if they are out grazing because cars will probably be lined up along the road, be careful because most people are concerned about seeing the elk and not watching for you. For me the best part of highway 74 is east of Ponca on it's way to Jasper, especially the first couple of miles of tight turns as you rise in elevation. It is a nice ride all the way to Jasper with plenty of places to experience the great scenery along the mountain top road. Once you get to Jasper, gas up and have lunch in the square and get fueled up for the great ride south on highway 7. Good times!

I think this route is just the start of a great ride.Continuing on to Jasper thru Boxley Valley is a must. Watch for the Elk herds in Boxley Valley.

I fully agree with the author's comments. When traveling from the central to the western Ozarks, I usually take this road. The twisties aren't too tight, and the ride is beautiful. Plus no matter which end of the road you end up at, you're at the intersection of another great road.
