This 71‑mile Eminence to Pilot Knob ride lays out wide sweeping views and big, scenic Ozarks vistas that wake up the senses from the moment you roll in. The curves flow smoothly, the grades shift just enough to keep things lively, and the landscape opens into long valleys that feel tailor‑made for a weekend run. If you’re heading into the valley from the southwest, this route is one of the best ways to set the tone for the trip — relaxed, scenic, and full of that classic Ozarks motion.
