Mt. Nebo in Dardanelle
It may be a bit of a drive from Bella Vista but worth every mile....every time.
19 miles of trails and 1289' of elevation with some of the best trail construction.
Steep drops and big edges...Nebo may be #1. The Chickalah Downhill is my personal favorite. A must ride!
Great view of Arkansas Nuclear One along the river. There is alot to experience in such a small footprint.
