This is an easy road to achieve one of the best views in the Tucson area. The nice thing is you stop at the top relax and gear up for the decent. the trip down is a little more twisted but is over before you know it. I would say the risk reward factor is worth it. Just keep looking up or out and you'll be glad you took the short time it takes. It's not like a trip through the Rockies that takes a great deal of time. Just go for it and have fun.
