Harrison
Was planning making my home base in in eureka springs. But after reading the Harrison brochure I just received, I am now thinking Harrison. Do you think the switch is a mistake.

- on your way to the Pig trail detour on 215 to Oark and stop at the country store.
From there you could go ......... wow I could go on for hours..
Any direction in a 100 mile range of Harrison is great riding.
Enjoy my back yard.

If you do stay in ES, make sure you book at a place where you can park your truck and trailer. There are many places that can accommodate you, but some can't due to limited parking and/or steep driveways.

As a regular rider of the Arkansas Ozarks I think Harrison is a good choice for a base. I've organized several group rides in the area and I prefer staying at the 1929 Hotel Seville in Harrison over staying in Eureka Springs, although I agree that ES is a must do destination.

chiming on the Eureka/Harrison debate...
when is a big factor. Eureka is an excellent tourist town, but can be full around holidays, some weekends and prime time. Harrison may be a better choice in those windows.
Branson can be dirt cheap in the off season as well.. tons of rooms they want to rent. Great rooms with breakfast $60ish if you call around and get off the main drags

We stayed just north of Jasper at the Little Switzerland Chalets for about a week last May. It's a great central location. Great riding in any direction that you decide to go. It's right off scenic hwy. 7. And only a few minutes from hwy 123. And the Jasper Disaster ride, and the Moonshine Run. And several more. We loved it there and can't wait to go back.
