The road from Arivaca to I-19 is not too bad, a few potholes along the way. The road from Arivaca to 286 is rough. There are a lot of potholes, and there is sand/gravel in the low areas so be careful. In Arivaca there is gas and food. There is a grocery store, food cart and just out of the main part of town there is a coffee shop. The scenery is great; I saw many deer along the way. Also saw vultures eating recent road kill in the road so be careful. Be careful, slow down and enjoy the ride.

Did this as part of a loop out of Tucson. Great scenery, especially in the wildlife refuge. Arivaca has a couple of good spots to stop for lunch. If you're not shy about hitting some dirt you can detour to a nearby lake.

Another common ride for me. This road is better enjoyed in the earlier or later hours. During the day it's quite warm and there are many places to stop and escape the sun. The road quality in places isn't the greatest which can hurt if you're on the wrong part of the road at the wrong time. The only law enforcement I've seen of the road is Border Patrol, and they'll just wave you by, but be careful, the best times to ride are the same times that critter are out and about, and maybe trying to cross the road.
