I've only ever driven through to get to other places. Where would you recommend someone check out in AR?
Sorry for the delayed response, I missed this. NW Arkansas is beautiful! It's like DisneyWorld for sports cars and motorcycles, as their back roads are about the best you'll find anywhere - well maintained, seemingly laid by race track designers, light traffic, and low LEO presence.
Eureka Springs is a very unique, historic little town with lots of great shopping, dining, and things to do.
Fayetteville, Rogers, Bentonville, and Bella Vista are all in a row from south to north.
Fayetteville is a great college town.
Rogers is possibly the biggest.
Bentonville is becoming (if not already) the MTB capital of the country, w/ millions of $$$ in trail funding by WalMart and the Walton family.
Bella Vista is where we stayed over Spring Break. It's a resort-like community w/ lots of water and golf courses, very hilly.
If you want to go off-roading, Rush Springs ORV park is about 20-25 mins away in S. Missouri.
We also visited Hot Springs, and loved it. Hot Springs ORV Park really challlenged me in our Jeep, and we enjoyed seeing the bath houses @ the National Park in town.
