I 40 east--route up to Branson?

If traveling east on I 40 and wanting to visit hot springs NP in Arkansas and Branson Missouri, then heading east to Littlerock, nashville, etc. What's the best route from I 40 up to Branson?

  • So you aren't double tracking, you may want to catch I44 in Oklahoma City and take it up to Springfield then Hwy 65 south to Branson. Not sure if you were wanting to see anything between Oklahoma City and Little Rock on I40.

    From Branson to Little Rock, will agree on Hwy 65 as the best and really only practical route. Just did this last week.
  • Take 65 the whole way, turn north in Conway (15 or so miles before Little Rock). Road is very hilly in parts, but also 4 lane in parts. Pretty drive.
