route 7 from Hot Springs Arkansas
The state map shows a scenic route north from Hot Springs. I'm sure this road is hilly and crooked. The question is: If you have driven this route do you think it is safe? Also, is it scenic enough...

Depending on your destination "west", you could take 7 north at least to Russellville and then head west on I-40, or carry on north toward Springfield, MO. Yes, it is a scenic road, and it is fine for pulling a trailer. The biggest hills are in the vicinity of Jasper. Going north, the downgrade into Jasper is fairly pushy, but that is the prettiest part IMHO. The portion through the Ouachitas, south of the Arkansas River, has a higher percent of pine timber. North of the river, you enter the Ozarks, which are more predominantly hardwood.
