Arizona Motorcycle Roads and Trips

Old Route 66 South of Kingman (Mar 03)

… ride through the Black Mountains and get some dynamite views of the mountains and rock formations along the … road has a great collection of twists and turns and in fact, they say that vehicles over 40 feet should not attempt to travel it because of the number of tight turns

Grand Canyon North Rim Parkway (Aug 99)

… a unique look at northern Arizona and the less visited North Rim of the Grand Canyon … for the most part offering gentle turns and inclines

Gates Pass Road (Jun 10)

… Lost of SHARP twists and turns! Be careful, my friend crashed along one of the curves. The road is fairly short though, so maybe try going up through Kinney road after Gates Pass. It is also kind of bumpy, but an alright road

Nogales to Douglas (Mar 10)

… you are riding the Southwest through the I-10 corridor and have time to get off the interstate then this is an excellent detour through South Eastern Arizona's high desert, quarter-horse and Arabian country. This road features many exquisite, and sweeping vistas of the high-desert grasslands and mountains with peaks looming to nearly 10,000 ft near and far

Superior, Winkleman, Globe triangle (Jan 10)

… the route changes elevation from 2500 to 5000 feet with corresponding changes in flora and geology. It is beautiful, different on each of 3 sides

Phoenix to Show Low (Apr 08)

… stopped at Dos Hermanos-bike bar and watched the bikes go by. Continued on 60 to Superior then Globe. Still lots of bikes, BUT after Globe-only bikes headed south!!!

Arivaca Sweepers (Mar 08)

… Southern Arizona's best road within 100 miles with massive views of the desert and nearby mountains

Lake Mary Rd from Flagstaff to Payson (Jun 07)

… the ride takes you along the side of Lake Mary then lots of driving through the tall pines and nice gentle curves … be careful coming down the mountain, sharp curves and slow traffic coming up the hill

Catalina Hwy (Sky Island) (Nov 06)

… road goes from 2800 feet elevation to almost 10,000 feet … views of canyons, valleys, lush forest, rocky outcrops, and breath taking vistas all the way … the only paved road that leads you to the top of Mt. Lemmon and is noted as being one of the most scenic roads in all of the South West

Cottonwood Canyon Run (Aug 04)

the trip starts in a desert setting and quickly climbs the side of a mountain to enter pine country ... the views from Jerome are SPECTACULAR! On certain days you can find an arts festival in Prescott

Route 60 North of Globe (Apr 03)

… ride starts out about 80 miles east of Phoenix in Globe Arizona and covers some great scenery, from a road with great twists and turns and offers some pretty cool things to do along the way … you'll pass by Seneca Lake where you can walk around the lake and find the Seneca Lake waterfalls

Coronado Trail (Apr 03)

… road brings you to a whole new world in Arizona … start out in a desert environment and end up passing through an Alpine paradise … in a remote section of Arizona but well worth the trip

Flagstaff to Sedona on the Incredible 89A (Jul 00)

… has to be considered one of the BEST routes in Arizona as well as the entire western half of the US!!! The scenery is unbelievable ... world class! … check out the "Chapel of the Holy Cross" ... a church that includes a 90 foot cross that seems to shoot right out of the red rocks
