The road itself is in great condition and is very curvy and well maintained. The problem is the congestion on the road by groups of bicycle riders and keep an eye out for the many patrol cars. Also getting to the base of the mountain requires driving through the heart of Phoenix so beware of the traffic during rush hour as it can get pretty hairy at times.

Had a great time going up the mountain. I was actually surprised the park was free entry and totally expected to pay. The 20mph speed limits on the way up dampen things somewhat on the way up; or more, slows you down to enjoy the sweeping curves in a safe manner(!) the view from the top is glorious, and contains views of downtown Phoenix, Mesa and Tempe, and the entire Weat Valley. Downsides were 'lots' of wasps at the top, and a really, really slow driver from Cali. The ride down was actually much better. No traffic meant I was able to get a bit more speed up and enjoy the curves a bit more. Overall, short and sweet, and best enjoyed early in the morning, preferably with some company! :)

This was awesome I live in phoenix so i literally went and did this with no planning the same day. Traffic is courteous. The corners can be a little hairy. Bathrooms and maps everywhere. And you can ride to like 4-5 different spots at the top with different views. Check it out on a day off and wear sunscreen hahaha haha safe rides yall
