iving in one of the nation’ s top motorcycling areas, the Ozarks, where great riding is literally 100 yards down the lane from my rural Arkansas home, it’ s easy to forget that there’ s another excellent mountain range in the central-western region of the state— the Ouachitas.
Hundreds of thousands of riders make their way to the Ozarks every year because of the area’ s ample riding options. But those who don’ t experience the Ouachitas, too, miss out on fine riding with a completely different geology.
