    Never been very far east of Denver so can anyone suggest a good route to get to the Springdale, AR? Looking to make it there in 1 day.

    Google puts that trip at right around 800 miles. If you want to make it there in one day, get up at dawn, hop on the interstate, stop only for food and fuel, and arrive at Springdale around dark.

    Are you hoping to ride some good roads or see anything on the way? It isn't going to happen.

    Jamie is correct. I know someone who drives Boulder to Branson. Totally idiotic since you still spend the next day 'recovering'.

    Makes more sense to take a southern route then spend the second day with a beautiful tour in SE Ok on the Talimena, then proceed north thru the mountains up to Springdale.
