The Boston Mountains Scenic Loop
The two roads that form this loop, U.S. 71 and I-540, are exact opposites that form the perfect scenic loop. Half the route is Arkansas Scenic Byway 71 heading south out of Fayetteville. There's no better place to get a taste of the rugged topography as the road hugs the land, twisting, dipping and curving like an amusement park ride. Just to the west is its contemporary cousin, Scenic Highway 540. Soaring over coves, creeks and valleys, the modern four-lane super-highway yields to Mother Nature just once, tunneling through a towering ridge near Winslow. Designated an Arkansas Scenic Byway in 1998, U.S. 71 snakes its way through the Boston Mountains beginning in Alma at the edge of the Arkansas River Valley and extends 42 miles across the Ozark Mountains to Fayetteville. Whether in the lush green of spring, fiery color of fall or leafless winter, the loop is a beautiful drive.
