Arizona drivers may know this trip. Start in Prescott, north on 89 to Ash Fork (40 mi very fast), I40 west to Flagstaff (50 miles), then 89a through Oak Creek Canyon to Sedona (30 miles, beautiful, David Bunting took shots here in his original review of the R56, my sig is his photo). Then to Cottonwood and up Mingus mountain to Jerome (old mining town, now for tourists, twisty turns galore), over that mountain back to Prescott. 180 miles total, takes 4 hours. Go from 5,000ft to 7k, down to 3,500, back to 7k, down to 5k. Mostly 2 lane twisty roads (50 freeway miles), awesome views. I averaged about 45mph, 32mpg. I'll throw in a few pix of my Mini on the side of the road. Every Mini owner should do this. The Allman Brothers and Neil Young got me through it today!
