There is a stretch of highway 15 that goes from Utah to
Nevada, with about 20 miles of Arizona in between. This portion that goes
through Arizona is really spectacular. Imagine, you’re driving through rolling,
hot desert, and after you cross the border into Arizona, all of a sudden you
drive into a canyon. A really deep canyon. There are signs saying “Steep downhill
grades ahead”, “Watch for strong crosswinds”, “Watch for falling rock”, and “Mountainous
curves next 10 miles”, on top of a “Rough road ahead” sign. But even all these
aspects don’t put a damper on this jaw dropping drive. I can’t quite put it all
down on paper properly, but basically I’d say the scenery was as good as
driving through Big Bend and the canyon of Grand Canyon combined. Yah. :o)
They
should charge an entrance free.
Happy Arizona Canyon Driving,
M.
