The Rumble of the Open Road
The Rumble of the Open Road
Feel the wind in your helmet as you twist and turn up one of Arkansas’s most beloved highways for motorcycling. Whether the Pig Trail got its name for its nonstop curves through the Ozark Mountains or because it was a popular route for Razorback fans heading to games in Fayetteville, it’s worth the ride for all bikers. Stop for some down-home cooking at the Oark Cafe, Arkansas’s oldest continuously operating store. Settle in for the night in Eureka Springs, a biker-friendly town with loads of Victorian charm.
