If you grew up like I did then the holiday season from Thanksgiving to Christmas could also be called Pie Season. Everyone loves pies, but do you know what the official state pie of Arkansas is? What about Texas?

Red Bluff Overlook above the Buffalo National River
It’s a long drive from the Louisiana border to the Arkansas highlands, whether visiting the Ouachita Mountains near Hot Springs or the Ozarks blending into Missouri. If you’re headed to higher ground this spring, or just need a road trip to clear your mind, spend those long hours along Scenic Byway 7, Arkansas’s first state-designated scenic byway that begins around El Dorado, north of Ruston, and ends at the Missouri line east of Eureka Springs.
The 290-mile road trip takes visitors from the West Gulf Coastal Plain in the south, through central Arkansas hills and the Ouachita Mountains to the west and ends in the mid-Ozarks along the Buffalo National River. Visitors will enjoy four geographical regions of the Natural State, plus view numerous historic sites, state parks and other great outdoors attractions and plenty of spots to pause for Southern cuisine and a slice of Arkansas possum pie.
