Alexandria, Louisiana, looping Fort Polk through So. Rapides, No. Allen, Vernon Parishes

Alexandria, LA

South Alexandria
Make a right on Horseshoe Dr.

Horseshoe Dr. becomes Twin Bridges Road - things start to get interesting

Rapides Parish
about two miles or so to the forest

Kisatchie National Forest
Shade forest, twisty road

Hineston
Make a left, road gets a little worse.

Take a left - warning, road very bad for a few miles

Union Hill
Now, in Allen Parish, road gets considerably better, nice. Go figure.

Make a right on Hwy 10, pretty nice road, through some foresty, some settled areas.

Pitkin
Slow down! No sense in getting a ticket. You're in some hilly areas, nice twisty roads

South of Fort Polk
Be prepared to make a hard left, and watch for cops. About a mile from this turn, we saw a cougar cross the road - yep, a panther. Straight road to Hwy 171.

Pickering
Make a right. Hwy 171 is the worst major highway in West Louisiana, but luckily we'll turn off son.

Leesville
Ready to hit a road that's very nice, some new four lane and some old two-lane. If you do this in the evening, the sun will be at your back. In the morning, in your face.

Gardner
Four lane back to start, nice road.

Alexandria, LA
Nice ride.
