We begin our scenic drive at the Sonoran Desert’s edge, where AZ Route 89 stretches from the Weaver Mountains’ base, climbing toward Prescott’s pine-lined streets and historic charm. After exploring Prescott we continue on the Mingus Mountain Scenic Road, where we wind through twisting curves with sweeping vistas of rolling hills and vibrant Verde Valley below, descending into Jerome’s hillside embrace. From there, AZ Route 89A leads us through Sedona’s otherworldly red rock formations and dramatic cliffs, then into Cottonwood Canyon’s narrow, steep-walled passage with breathtaking views at every turn, before concluding in Flagstaff, where cool, pine-covered mountains and crisp air mark a serene end to our unforgettable journey through desert, forests, mountains, and canyons in the heart of Arizona.
This drive was filmed in late April. The video is playing at normal speed and the speed can be adjusted to go faster or slower in the video settings!
