This was a very short ride. Great for break in period if you're not following the "break in hard" method. Some cool views and a sharp turn here and there. You shouldn't be in 5th or 6th gear on this trip, 4th gear was plenty for myself. There was moderate traffic in this area as well.

Lots of curves. Be careful as some sharp curves come up while having fun enjoying the ride. I would of gave this a 5 star rating but is a short ride. Go early for the ride as later in the day there are more cars and that greatly decreases the enjoyment of the route.

It is a nice road with lots of curves and elevation changes. If you keep it slow you should not have any problems. If you pull off at the ranger station or the Desert museum and you can learn a little about area or go on one of the many hiking trails. No food or gas along the way, but it is a short ride.

Short and sweet. Great scenery, the sunset from the parking area at the pass is great. Proximity to Tucson means it's almost always crowded.
