Wife and I are planning on taking the first full week of June and riding over to Eureka Springs. Plan on basing there, and hitting all the rides in that area, and over at Harrison, during that week. A different route each day. Should be a blast. There is a biker friendly place to stay that's only $40.00 a night (may be a little higher during riding season).

Early June (weather permiting, my vacation time is flexable). Riding 2up to Harrison, AR. 2 rides out of there and then home (Peel Ferry, Bootlegger but doing it backwards so Jasper is a late lunch/early dinner stop). Here is my tenative route, Planning on taking my time and 5 days riding. Sister in Law lives in Owasso so that night's lodging is free. Decents Motels but nothing fancy.
Opinions from those who have done a loop simular. Must see places, Good resonable Hotel/Motel, and good food but nothing fancy.

Hwy 7 is decent and a lot of people enjoy it. But, I would consider working in Hwy 23/Pig Trail and 215 into Oark - for yes - more pie. Best food you'll find in the region. It's a destination stop for many riders.
You'll have a great time and June is a beautiful month to ride in Arkansas - if it's not raining

I would avoid riding through Bentonville - that section of your ride is the weak link in your trip. Instead, I would suggest hanging a left at Gravette (indicated by 1021 Gentry in the pic). Stop in at the Wooden Spoon for some local Mennonite eats (Bumblebee pie is a local favorite), head north on 59 (not the highlighted route in my pic) up to Noel, pick up 90 east and hang on to your hat. Endless curves. From there pick up 39 and 62 into Eureka Springs.
I think I am scratching the Bootlegger run and only spending 1 night in Harrison, then modifying the Peel Ferry run out of Branson south/east to Eureka and staying 2 nights there getting this loop in I got from one of the members here.
Keep em coming boyz. The trip is coming together quite nice.
