5/28/2025... OMG

 

An example of a Day In The Life of OMG... Engines would roared early for instance towards the destination of Push Mountain on one ride day.

Push Road Mountain Road, referred to as “The Snake” by local riders, is absolutely the best motorcycle road in the state.

Some say without question this is a 5 star road equal to any in the country.

With over 100 curves, switchbacks and elevation changes this 25 mile Arkansas motorcycle trip would be a challenge to any rider and the thrill of the adrenaline junkies.

This road usually saw very little traffic.

Located in North Central Arkansas, Push Mountain Road is best accessed through the towns of Mountain Home in the north and Mountain View in the South.

We would start out taking Hwy 7 south from Marble Falls Resort towards The Cliff House Inn where we might stop for breakfast complete with a spectacular view of the Arkansas Grand Canyon.



The food was always phenomenal and the staff were very friendly.

With full tummies, the motorcycles would move out to hit routes 374, 74 & 123 thru Mt. Judea.

From Mt. Judea, Highway 123 would continue south and climbs Kent Mountain to a height of almost 2,200 feet by way of a winding route with five turn backs so sharp you almost meet yourself coming.

Motorcycle enthusiasts from all over the United States know this stretch of road as the “Little Dragon’s Tail."

South of these switch backs, and four miles south of Mt. Judea, is a popular attraction known as “Sam’s Throne." The “Throne” has a bluff line reaching over seventy-five feet in height which joins the eastern side of Kent Mountain.

Rock climbers come here to take the challenge offered by this beautiful yet rugged area.

The road leads back to Hwy 7 where Hwy 16 intersects onward toward the community of Snowball which is typical of the many Arkansas towns established in the Ozarks in the late nineteenth century.


Located about thirteen miles west of the county seat of Marshall on state Highway 377 & 74, this once thriving commercial community today consists of a Masonic Hall, a few residences, and no commercial businesses.

The ride would snake around further to highway 14 and 341/ Push Mountain Road. And then the fun would continue. I always found it best to make it a leisurely ride around 45 MPH to get the feel of the road and enjoy some stunning scenery. Route 412 lead back completing the adventure of a day of riding.

Everyone would be ready for a refreshing shower, nice meal and good conversation at the home base of Marble Fall Resort.



We were always wishing that the storms would not blow us away so we can have more days as fabulous as the previous ride days.


OMG (Ozark Mountains Gathering) was always a Blast!


Thanks For The Memories!
