Written Directions

Take Route 260 East from Cottonwood, through Camp Verde to Route 87.

Scenery

Start from High Desert in the Verde Valley and make your way into the cool pines. Some tight twisty climbing to gentle rolling sweepers through the trees.

Drive Enjoyment

Road quality is good. The climb out of the valley has some twisty sections. Once up top the rolling hills keep you entertained. Asphault is good with an occasional rough patch.

Tourism Opportunities

Once you leave Camp Vered there are no Amenities until you reach Clints Well to the north or Pasyon to the south. Just great views and vistas.

Motorcycle Road Additional info

This road connects you to Hwy 87 to Lake Mary Road back to Flagstaff, Winslow or down to Payson.

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.

We got off the interstate at Camp Verde and headed down. The road is good, and the views delightful desertscapes. Nearby is Montezuma's Castle, definitely worth a stop.

Beautiful ride through the Ponderosa Pine forest. Some scenic views east of Camp Verde, then forested to 87. Nice road, and the elevation helps keep it cool even in mid-summer.
