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?

I-40 to Ft Smith, I-49 north to Springdale, US 412 east to US 65, and north to Branson.
I would also suggest this route. Then down to Little Rock. A good choice for visit to both Little Rock and Hot Springs is Lake Catherine State Park. OR you could move from Lake Catherine up to Maumelle COE Park which is nearer to Little Rock.
For less back tracking, come down to Lake Catherine from Branson and then up to Little Rock.
There are many other choices in the Hot Springs area, but we stayed at Lake Catherine in November and really liked it.
