ARDOT Launches Statewide Five-Stop Travel Challenge

The Arkansas Department of Transportation has launched Explore AR Highways, an annual challenge encouraging residents and visitors to explore five designated scenic destinations around the state. Participants take a photo at each stop, post the photos to Facebook or Instagram while tagging ARDOT and using #ExploreARHighways, then submit an online form. Everyone who completes the quest receives an exclusive bumper sticker, and the first 250 finishers also get a commemorative ARDOT Challenge Coin. The program aims to showcase Arkansas’s natural beauty and local attractions while highlighting how state highways connect travelers to them.
