Watched the first video I was expecting to see a lot of sharp curves , since all 4 videos are 3 minutes Am I correct in assuming they are all the same video ? We are planning to ride out there about the last week in May.
Hwy 191 is an 88 mile trek through some of the most desolate areas of Arizona. Don't expect much in the way of cell service as well.
The average posted speed of this mind numbing experience is 30mph and takes an average of 90 minutes to complete.
Want twists? Too many to count as the rider is concentrating on their line and not going over the roadway edge.
Want switchbacks? Yeah, you'll find these as well and if you ATTEMPT to view the scenery, plan on going over the edge.
Want sweepers? Again, lots to count but still going back and forth.
Want scenic vistas? Got plenty of those, so plan on stopping in the road to see them. In other words, not many places to safely pull off the road for the views.
Not many places on this magical piece of roadway which allows you the opportunity to reach 3rd gear, as most of the time you'll be in first or second.
I keep hearing how magical that 11 mile stretch of road is back east, but this will literally wear you down both physically and mentally.
