HWY 7 Arkansas-Scenic Byway

It was a nice drive today except for the dense fog about half of the way. All the scenery that we could see was the painted lines on the highway for a few yards in front of us. Then the fog lifted and the rain started but that still allowed us to view the great tree color along the way. Bright sunlight would have made the views extra special.

Yes the road is hilly and curvy but I am a hillbilly born and raised in the southwest MO Ozarks and like this kind of scenic highway. When you are going down a 7% grade for 3.5 miles and the sign tells you there are several 25mph curves they mean it.

Thank you so much for taking the time and post your input.
We will take this HWY with our 5W.
Happy Trails

It is 2 lanes, hilly, and curvy but pretty. Take your time and enjoy the scenery. There are very few pull-outs.

I plan to drive it north of Russellville tomorrow and will report back after that drive. I don't expect any problems after flying over it on google earth. On the map it appears to be a bit more crooked south of Russellville to Hot Springs.

For what it's worth I've towed my Rockwood on route 7 several times with no issues.
