FOUR MOUNTAIN DRIVE and OVERNIGHT
8:30AM Departure
Shell Station Hwy 10 and Chenal Pkwy
May 16—17, 2026
In May, we will be resurrecting a drive from the history annals of the Arkansas Miata Club. The event will be the Four Mountain Tour, where we will start on Saturday morning, and visit Pinnacle Mountain, Petit Jean Mountain, Mount Nebo, and Mount Magazine. We will end in the Ft. Smith area, and stay overnight returning on Sunday.
We will meet on Saturday morning, May 16th at the Shell Gas Station, on the corner of Chenal Parkway and Hwy 10 in West Little Rock. We will meet at 8:00am, with drivers’ meeting and departure at 8:30am.
A morning drive will take us past Pinnacle Mountain and then up Mount Petit Jean, where after a short stop we’ll continue on to have lunch at Fat Daddy’s BBQ in London, AR.
Lunch will be on each person’s own at the restaurant !! Enjoy a delicious meal of classic Southern BBQ. Before you even walk through the doors, you’ll smell and see the hickory smoke coming from the back of the building.
Most luncheon choices are around $10, and there is usually a daily special.
After lunch, we’ll head to Mount Nebo then on to Mount Magazine, after which we’ll head to Ft. Smith for an evening meal together at Rolando’s and a stay at one of the downtown hotels, the Courtyard Marriott Downtown(900 Rogers Ave in Fort Smith, 72901).The room rate for our group is $ 119 plus tax.
Everyone is responsible for their own room reservations, as there is no contract for group rates. The number for the Marriott is (479) 783-2100.
Dinner at Rolando’s will be at 6:30pm.
Sunday morning after breakfast at the hotel, we’re looking at possible tours of the local museums (US Marshal and Ft. Smith National Historic Site), then we’ll pack up and head back to the Little Rock area.
