The Talimena Scenic Drive winds 54 miles along the crest of the highest points between the Appalachians and the Rockies, Rich Mountain and Winding Stair Mountain in the Ouachita National Forest (pronounced Wash-i-tah). Spanning the highest east-west mountain range in America, one breathtaking panorama follows another as this national forest scenic byway winds along forested mountain tops between Talihina, Oklahoma and Mena, Arkansas.
