Which do you prefer for Dallas to Hot Springs - I-30 or I-70? Why?
Here's the two routes I could take from Dallas to Hot Springs. Anyone prefer one over the other? If so, why?

If you’ve got the time, head North from Paris on US-271 all the way to just North of Talihina, Oklahoma; then take OK-1/AR-88 East all the way past Mena and Oden, AR; then continue East on AR-270 through Mt Ida into Hot Springs. You won’t be sorry - the Talimena Scenic Byway is quite the route - if you like great natural views while riding.

Not sure about I-30 Dallas to Texarkana. I just did I-30 from Texarkana - Hot Springs today; fairly light traffic, no problems; some road work barrels after Friendship - no delays, just barrels, maybe less than 5miles. The unfortunate caution is Arkansas has ZERO TOLERANCE - they set the speed traps, sit back, & giggle (maybe even play their banjos!) I hope you don’t find out the hard way.

But...whatever one you take going, take the OTHER ONE back. Then, you can make a choice based on your likes and dislikes the next time around. And, you get to see two different sets of scenery and driving conditions.
