Out for a drive to visit some places I like on a fair-weather day, following a period of vicious storms and heat. Today it was the Huachuca Mountains. Route was up to the end of Carr Canyon Road, then over to Coronado Memorial for the drive over the pass and on to reach AZ 83 at Parker Canyon Lake. Continued north of 83, then took Box Canyon Road to the junction with Madera Canyon Road. Back to Green Valley to I-19 then home. Things are greening up pleasantly in the usual areas.

The Carr Canyon road is in good shape up to the Clark Spring trailhead, then it is its usual gnarly self the rest of the way up. There are only several spots that require some extra attention, with the worst one being just below that final viewpoint before the drop down the hill to the Reef camping area. In fact, as I was approaching that going uphill there was a van with Missouri plates backing down.

Once I got to that area I could see why they said, "no thanks." For me, I don't care how many times I go on that road, it remains one of my all-time favorites!
