Had a great time riding with you guys again! This run has been a goal of mine for years, and I’m glad I was able to make it with you two! Looking forward to the next one!
I’ve done this ride many times . Not as scenic as taking the Beeline Hwy to Lake Mary Rd back down Oak Creek Canyon/Sedona to Jerome over Mingus Mtn into Prescott down through Skull Valley and back on the Carefree Hwy.
Rode this highway about a month ago. Much of the road has deteriorated and gravel slows the rider down. Otherwise very beautiful, especially the last couple of legs.
You are both troopers to endure that last day in the cold rain. I'll always pack rain gear from now on - even inexpensive top and bottom - to be prepared. Thanks for sharing your ride!
Great video. Been to all those places on my Africa Twin. You discovered the hard way that the Nation was closed on weekends last year due to Covid .keep the content coming
I very much enjoyed your video, the production values were spot on and the drone footage was beautiful as well. A couple of points, while the chicken sandwich in the Pinewood Tavern might be great (I haven’t tried one yet) they served me and my riding buddy the worst baby back ribs either of us has ever eaten. Also as a fourth generation native of Greenlee county I will tell you the only folks who call it the Devils Highway or the Coronado Trail Scenic Byway are tourists. Long time residents of the area call it the Coronado Trail or most often just The Trail. As in “did you go up The Trail yesterday?”. I was in my fourties before I ever heard it called the Devils Highway, although I do understand that has much more cache. Anyway again I did enjoy your video and will look for more.
Thank you for the feedback. We are definitely tourists, lol! It was such a beautiful ride, our favorite in AZ. Thanks for warning me about the baby back ribs. Next time in Pine try that grilled chicken sandwich and you should not be disappointed.
Thx for sharing. Sorry to see rain dampen your trip...No fun:( This was my fav road/ride while living in AZ from 1997-2003. I used to stay in Alpine (only downfall was food options).
If you don’t pack your rain gear, it’s a certainty that it’s gonna rain - a lot. I ride in AZ winters and MN summers, and I use my rain gear and heated gear in AZ way more than I ever have in MInnesota. Beautiful ride and great footage!
Thanks for the positive feedback. We now make sure we have packed our rain gear and we recently purchased heated gear that we are excited to try out. Hope you stick around for more adventures!
I was riding around southwest NM, and met a guy that told me about the Devil’s Highway. This was a few years ago, and I have ridden it numerous times since. That 120 mile stretch of road is my favorite grin-producing road in the country, and I have seen some country. In 2019 my Connie and I did over 22,000 miles through 34 states and 4 Canadian provinces, on roads like Hwy. 1 from Northern California to the Canadian border, the Alcan highway to Alaska, Top of the World highway into the Yukon, the entire length of Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Tail of the Dragon(again), and thousands of miles of those squiggly red lines on the map, usually in close proximity to mountains. The Devil’s Highway has Tail of the Dragon beat by a long shot. Great scenery, good pavement, no LE, very little 4 wheeled traffic, and enough curves to make your shoulders ache, especially if you ride from Alpine to Clifton and back in the same day.
We would have to agree! We just rode the Alcan to Ak and Top of the World Highway. The Dalton to Deadhorse wore us out! Currently in Anchorage and getting ready to head back to the lower 48. I have riden Tail of the Dragon, BRP, and Skyline as well and Devils Highway is the best. Alpine to Clifton and back in one day sounds very tiring!
@@wrongwayro960 Lol, I saw you. It was quite memorable because no one else waves that high. It seemed like you were definitely trying to get my attention. It worked! Enjoy the Dalton. Safe travels.
the devils highway is originally route 666, located in new mexico now us highway 491, it was called 666 because it was the 6th us highway routing off us 66.
@@LivinLifeLoud i am correct i used to live off of us 666 when it was actually named us 666 from gallup nm to cortez co. people used to steal the signs.
