from the submitter: "Took this trip July 2003.
Ten days with temp of 85 to 105 degrees. This is a great road
to relax on. Stop at pull outs and take a refreshing swim
in the Colorado River to cool off. Too many roads so little
time, but I'll remember this one forever." |

is at the 4000 ft elevation with good two lane blacktop.
