This ride from Eureka Springs to Berryville drops you straight into the Kings River valley the moment you turn onto Highway 221 from Rockhouse Road. The descent gives you fantastic views of the river if you ease off the throttle, but the curves start immediately after the Kings River bridge and stay steady for nearly ten miles as you climb through the foothills of the Ozarks. The mix of tight bends, rolling elevation, and shifting scenery makes this stretch one of the more engaging short runs in the region, with a strong sense of motion all the way up to the plateau.
