Distance and timing basis

The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.

Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.

Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups

  1. 1. Ozark

    Ozark, Arkansas, sits on the south side of the Arkansas River valley, where the flat bottomlands end and the Ozark foothills begin. It is a quiet county seat of about thirty-five hundred people, with an old courthouse on a square, a few brick storefronts and a couple of cafes, and it serves as the starting point for the Pig Trail, the road that heads north through the Ozark National Forest toward Eureka Springs and Fayetteville. The name itself may come from the French aux Arcs, to the Arkansas, though the exact origin is debated.

  2. 2. Eureka Springs

  3. 3. Jasper

    Jasper is a tiny town in the heart of the Arkansas Ozarks, with a courthouse square, a few shops and a population under five hundred, but it sits at the junction of some of the best scenery in the region. The Buffalo National River, the first river in the United States to be protected as a national river, flows nearby in a long, winding course between limestone bluffs, and Jasper is one of the gateways to it. The surroundings are steep, forested hills, with deep hollows, creeks and rock outcrops.
