This road certainly has it's moments of long sweepers and canyons/mountains. If you start at Superior and drop down to Winkleman you will see the first 10 miles displaying steep carving sweepers on a road that I would rate a 4 in terms of asphalt quality. Watch out for enormous mining equipment that is being driven or hauled on the road as the steep downhill grades will force them to a crawl. The last 10 miles to Winkleman are pretty straight with nice views of the bluffs and meadows.
You can gas up at Winkleman and food is limited, but there is a little mexican place on the right side of road when you get to Winkleman.
From Winkleman up to Globe in my opinion is the best part of the run as there are more long sweeping roads that carve through the mountains and the views are pretty good. Traffic is very light most of the time.
