What is the quickest route to get from Tucson to Klondyke.
Is the Fort Grant road from Wilcox quicker or slower than 266?

Thanks

The Fort Grant road might be a little faster, but I can't say for sure. I've only used 266 once on the way back out from Ash Creek, but I've used the Fort Grant road a bunch of times. It can be very confusing because you have to keep making turns to stay on it and signs are occasionally missing. The Bonita-Klondyke road was just graded last month.

How curvy was 266?

Very interesting write-up. I have been jeeping up part of that, starting at Mammoth, up Copper Canyon Road to Sister Bourne's place and beyond. There is a slot in there with water in it, great for swimming if you don't mind cow pee. Sounds like it would be a very fun mountain bike journey as well.

Ha... I dont think "fun" is the word you would be using after you finished.

Heh heh! Sore? Shredded?

Google does say the rug road is the shortest 2.5 hrs from Tucson

Check out Scott Morris' webpage about his MTB ride over the Rug Road, and up Mt Graham.
