The longest remaining intact section of Route 66 can be found in Arizona and runs from Seligman to Topock, a total of 157 unbroken miles.

 

Someone is pretty good with the wikipedia machine!

 

 

There's a little bit of guardrail in some spots.

 

Ah, I'd love to ride in Arizona! I go there once a year but can't ship the bike there just for a week. Nice pictures, thanks for sharing!

 

You should consider it haha and you're welcome! I figure that's why most of us get on here anyway...to look at other bikes.

 

the ride from Wickenburg to prescott is fantastic. Coming up the mountain is two lane and so much fun I usually go back down and do it again. two lanes up, 1 lane down, high speed sweepers.At the top is the Bagdad cafe and then you start down to prescott. Major twisties downhill with scarey dropoffs to rocks below. Do the speed limit. Prescott to Jerome is a nice ride, a little crowded sometimes. In two weeks we are doing it in the other direction, uphill in those twisties will be more fun. Oak creek canyon from Sedona to Flagstaff is a wonderful lazy run along the river and the trees change from cottonwoods to pines. I will be there 4/10-13, riding the best roads I have ever ridden. Bike week will be over, more sanity on the roads. Enjoy Az.

 

I was staying in Prescott and came back after lunch in Jerome. East to West is definitely the way to go.

Same here. So much fun!

Everyday. What a great state this is!

 

Tale of the Dragon and Wickenburg/Prescott/Jerome are 'baby steps".

Real men ride "191" from Clifton to Alpine.

Looked it up on google maps. Looks like fun. I'll have to get out there this summer. It'll make a great weekend trip, 5 hrs just to get to Alpine, 2 hours on the twisties, 5 hrs to get back home!
