Either way, I wish I could go, it would be a nice drive.

Know it all..Not at all. In fact I would like to thank you for that. It looks like a hell of a drive and I am definitely going to make it a point to do that one weekend this year. I am in Sedona so I thought 89A would be a pleasant morning drive with enough curves to let the Boxster stretch her legs a bit. Plus-I love Jerome and the restaurants in Prescott. Let me know if you ever get up my way.

Unless you are a biker fanatic in Arizona, 191 is actually quite a well kept secret. It's definitely worth a look, and although most people go from Springerville south, I like starting from the mines of Clifton (mostly because I live in Tucson, so it makes more sense to do it this way).

I have been to Sedona 3 times. I never tire of the scenery there, it's amazingly breathtaking.

Hey Guys,

I did these Sedona roads last spring when I went from Laramie to Hemet via Steamboat, Telluride, Idyllwild and other 2 lane passenger pukers. The Jerome -> Prescott leg was a world class boxster g-pulling festival. Coming down the canyon from Flagstaff to Sedona was a tire and brake scorcher, and I pulled over for a cooldown and took this snappy.

I would like to do the route again, but I think the Rocky Mtn 2 lanes that I love to smoke through on the way will be too cold for comfort and safety if I were to join you that early in the season.

If you happen to delay your trip 'til April you could count me in.....I'd show you what can be done on those roads with a Boxster S powered by a x51 engine!

Happy Trails,
Ike

I would love to see your car. We just might do it again in April.

I did a little research and 191 looks like an amazing run. It is definitely gonna be a weekend trip. All told round trip looks to be 12+ hours for me but looks to be well worth it. I am an AZ newcomer so I am still in the discover and amazement mode. One thing I love about AZ is all the old mining towns and abandoned mines. I love all the decay, urban and otherwise..

Got ant other suggestions? I'm makin' a list....
