Arivaca Sweepers

Yes there is fuel available at the store. The road is well maintained but beware, that thrilling sweeper may well run into a recently flooded wash. You will suddenly be in 4 inches of gravel 100 feet across. Cows do show up in this road and deer are all year. The sweepers are irregular, some tightening turns. Frankly this road is dangerous and should be taken seriously. Moreso between Arivaca and the Sasabee hiway on to the west. The scenery is stunning and at speed, a distraction. The huge peak is Barbaquivari Peak and a landmark for miles around. 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.
