Route 260 To 87 - By GJRonK

The 13 miles from Cottonwood to Camp Verde is heavily trafficked and no interesting views. Skip this part. The 34 miles from C V to Hwy. 87 has some okay varied scenery with some traces of lava flows and narrow canyons along the road on the climb to the forest areas. At higher elevation, the trees are primarily older growth ponderosa pine and restrict views to mostly just alongside the roadway. Not terribly exciting, but cool riding on days that are hot at lower elevations.
