It's great to see people discover that there;s so much more to Arizona than just desert.

Thank you so much for highlighting Arizona in a very fun video. I just wanted to share with you that I rode to Douglas Az and picked up US 191 spur that begins at the International Border and rode it north to the routes end at the International Border with Canada in Morgan MT and crossed into Saskatchewan at Monchy.

Hey! You passed through my hometown! Superior! I ride through devils canyon to get to work, every day!

From Ontario Canada, I spent 4 hrs. on that amazing ride. No traffic but cows on the road! Best ride I think so far! It's just so FAR!

I knew nothing of this road until I drove it as part of an off the cuff Ironbutt ride the end of the first week in November. I drove south thru Arizona's High Country and Grand Canyon just ahead of a winter storm two days before. I headed east to the state line and then turned north to go back to Durango, CO. My friend to whom I was staying informed me that the winter storm was moving into their area and that I might need to get a room in Farmington, NM because the pass into Durango might be icy. Neither one of us knew anything about this road and assumed it was similar to the parallel road in NM we drove a few days earlier. The sun had already set when I got to Clayton. My GPS had gone crazy as I drove through the copper mine. Apparently they moved the road. Shortly after that I entered the Apache National Forest and immediately started my assent into total darkness. I have auxiliary flood lights and accent lights on my bike so I could see the road pretty good. After a few curves I saw what I though was a single snowflake. A quick check of the bikes thermometer showed it to be in the mid 40's and the road was dry. I reasoned that the flake had to have been blown off one of the surrounding mountain tops. As I continued up the grade, the snow got heaver. I checked and the temp was still in the 40's. I passed a SUV going in the other direction. I got around to the other side of the ridge and now I knew it was snowing because the snow was coming from my right and the mountain was to my left. The temp had dropped to the low 40's. 43 if I remember correctly. I finally started to descend and the temp was 39. After a short decent the road started going up hill again. I went up and up and the snow started to stick to the pine needles that had blown onto the road surface. It was still above freezing. I the road started to descend again. It was now 30 degrees. The snow started to stick. I had slowed to where the engine was barely pulling me forward in 1st gear. Even at that speed I had to dodge animals running across the road in front of me. The temp was in the mid 20's and unbelievably the road once again started to ascend. Another vehicle passed me going the other direction. I stayed in the powder snow and continued my trek up this road. I reached a spot in the road where it looked like several vehicles had turned around and traveled in the same directions as I was traveling. The bad news was that they messed up the powder snow and ice had formed where their tire tracks were. I switch my travels to the edge of the road where their tracks weren't. I had to stop and duck walk my bike across the icy center a few times to stay in the powder. My front tire eventually locked up with ice and down I went. I was able to call 911 and a passerby helped me pick my bike up and put it on it's kickstand. I got it started but it didn't go anywhere because the front wheel was frozen. I took the front part of the front fender off and removed the ice but as I was looking to take the rear part of the front fender I could feel the heat coming off the radiator so I wrapped my rain gear around the front of the bike and it took about an hour for the ice to melt. By this time the local Sheriff Deputy arrived on scene it was down to 8F. He escorted me up and over the summit which was over 91K feet to Hannagan Meadow Lodge. What a nice place. I stayed there until the road was cleared of ice and drove on to Durango. A few day later, I drove US 191 again on my way home. If you decide to travel this road make sure you are topped off because there isn't any services.

Great video thanks for all the information. The pie looked awesome

Anticipation is the greatest joy 😊

Complete respect for you doing this ride solo. Thanks for videoing it!

US 191 is probably the greatest motorcycle road that nobody knows about. I think we saw 6 cars the entire ride....and a cow in the road....and some elk crossing the road. We rode SB to Morenci. When I was done, I was just exhausted from all the shifts. But it was totally worth it. I had a smile stuck on my face.

Awesome video as always 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Great ride! Thanks for making these videos-stay safe ✌

Once again another Kick-Ass Video ! Keep 'em coming ! We love them !

Staci, Thanks for taking us along. The views are amazing. Your Pie looked delicious.

Love your videos. I particularly like that you know the history of the places.

Thanks for the information on the road it will come in handy 👍 ride safe

Tar snakes and loose gravel oh my!! That road looked nuts, then it seem to turn into a goat trail! appreciate your content, so cool learning about the areas you are riding through. Thank you

Stunning video & filming! We Go hiking up KP Cienega - Apache trail - but seeing the view from the "back of the bike" - is AMAZING! Many thx! Enjoy Everyone! x

I am LOVING your videos and seeing the world through your eyes is an awesome journey!! Thanks for sharing

That ride looks great. Definitely on the to do list. 🤘⚡️🤘✨

Very cool video. Planning an iron butt ride next summer from California to pie town. Thanks for sharing.

Another great video. You are the real deal. Thank you.

Wow! That pie had my mouth watering👍

So stoked this was my first real tour last April on my brand new Road Glide ST, tons of snow at Alpine, from Taos, incredible Road!!!

I really enjoy your videos. Your videos motivate me to get on My Mistress and ride around in Arizona. Thank you.

Loved your video! I grew up in the area, and frequently camped off of 191 near Hannigan Meadow. Now we go up that way to get our Christmas trees! Such a fun place!

Me and a Brother rode it a couple years back. Raining the entire way in approx 40°-50°, had a steak dinner and stayed at Hannagan Meadow Lodge. I saw 2 Mexican Wolves that crossed the road right in front of me about 7 miles north of the mine, what a road in the rain! Just beautiful. Amazing video greatly appreciate your work. Ride on! 👊🏍️

Well enjoing your journeys at the moment please keep up the hard work you put into your channel your audience does appreciate

I just did Devils Highway 4 weeks ago and was not that impressed. I’ve been wanting to do it for the last 40 year and finally did the loop in one day, Phx, Sanford, Eager, Payson and back home. 542 mile loop. The road is rough and torn up pretty bad. The run from Morenci to Hannigan Meadow is 2 hrs of under 25mph. After Hannigan Meadow the road gets really smooth and more high speed bends and corner. 30-40 min of 50-60mph is really nice. If you really want a nice road to take in AZ, take 89 into Prescott or 89a into Jerome. Much nicer roads.

I’m so excited to find your channel!!! At 42, I’ve only been riding for 6 months but your videos are inspiring me to see (and eat) what the US actually has to offer! I’m planning for May 2022 and am thinking The Grand Canyon from South Carolina. Thank you!

Another great video with awesome photagraphy. And it was great to meet you and her two wheels at Chicago IMS.

That was cool!

I live in Maine now but lived in Phoenix for years. Your videos bring back all the nostalgia from that beautiful state. Keep up the good work!

What's better than good pie ? More good pie !! LOL !! Great vid as always :-)

Great vid! That pie looked delicious 🤤

Way cool ride! 🇺🇸

Awesome ride!! Yes, I would ride 500 miles for pie, especially a pie that looks as good as that one!! I've been up to Morenci mine a few times, work related, but never had the pleasure of going there on my bike. I hope to do that now that I'm retired and have the time. I agree that roads can be very intense and certainly require due diligence while riding!

Finding you for the first time: Bikes & food- what's not to like here 🙂

Thanks for the ride and video

Me and six friends rode Devil's Highway a few years back, and once you're up on the mountain the scenery is beautiful all the way to Alpine. Still haven't made it to Pie Town but it's on the list!

Great video and the pie looked awesome.

Another Awesome Video. We got got back from a motorcycle trip to Yellowstone. We got to see a grizzly eating a bison carcass. A trip that was inspired by you. Thank you!

1 big bite well deserved. Sweet video

Ooooh...need to add Devil's Highway to my To-Do list! Thanks for another fun video!!! :-)

Great video as usual. I am doing my week long trip to Arkansas next week, thanks to your video inspiration.

Still loving your videos and story telling. I would definitely ride 500 miles for pie.

More people needs to find your shit because your videos are amazing!

Just listened to your Five Dirty Bikers podcast. 👍🏻 Very cool. Some beautiful views this ride. That pie place looks amazing.

That Morenci to Alpine ride is great. When I did it I came around a curve at the top and the road was covered in snow, scared the crap out of me. The ride from Alpine to Reserve to Apache Junction then to Quemado is fun also.

Epic journey!!!

thats some solid rideing just for pie lol job well done love ya vids cheers from Down Under & keep Ya Knee's in Da Breeeezzzzeeeeeee.........

Great video! The wife I and I have ridden that many times. HWY 180 just over into New Mexico that parallels 191 is in MUCH better condition and is a beautiful ride as well! Ride safe and eat well! 🏍👍🏻🇺🇸

New sub. Gotta love the algorithm huh. Thx for the ride. Be safe. Medicine Hat,Alberta,Canada

Love the hole ziped up looked

Oh wow you have me checking out the trip on google maps gonna have to add that ride toy list

I love your vids.You have inspired me so I went out and bought a Honda H Onda VTX1i00,and on the road I am.Keep it up sweets.

Awesome!!!

this looks rowdy and delicious!!! gravel, hairpins, and cliffs.......... hooray for PIE!!!

Nice video. We just did that ride last September. Stayed at Haniganns meadow. Enjoying your videos.

liked this episode alot had to watch twice hit mt scott in southern oklahoma!!!

We took the the highway once encountered wind, hail and rain that makes for a good story. Loved your video

Always great videos and info, Staci! From the looks of that pie, it was definitely worth 500 miles. In the wind at least ; )

Awesome scenery

The pie does look awesome - even to come from Germany for it would be worth it for sure 👌🏼 Happy New Year! Great video, keep it going!

Love that road - I came the opposite way from Denver, down to Albuquerque and across by Pie Town.

Very cool I just found your channel today because flip na mentioned you, ride to food anyway excellent channel hope you keep making content I know it takes a lot of work but your doing Good 👍 I have a V Twin cruiser but recently switched to a Triumph Tiger adventure bike yes I’m getting old I know LOL oh but I still have the V Twin as well 🤪

I really enjoy your tone and pace for the narrative portion. You made feel like even a chili cheese burrito from Taco Bell could be worth a full day ride! 🍺

Love your videos! Hope you’ll be at KRiver next month.

Thanks for the memories ! My very favorite ride of all tmie ,I've riden 191 north to Alpine then over to NM to go south through Glenwood then 78 back to AZ . Very nice ! But not for beginner's lol.

Great video. Love Hwy 191 .

i rode that road ,great twisties , we stayed in Alpine great ride and place to eat and stay!!

Awesome ride

Now we want pie. Damn it!!

I am new to your channel great video keep them coming be safe

Another great video because of you i am going to eureka springs in a couple weeks

I wish i was young again all my adventures are now just a memory in my mind never to be repeated. But From watching your video i made the right choice in Alpine at a fork in the road by going to Silver City .

I loved this ride many years ago (not so many tar-snakes??) and arrived at the Morenci mine after dark and in a thick fog (low cloud). Dipping into a series of sharp downhill turns in a cloud in the dark was more than my previous experience had prepared me for. Going NOBO in daylight looks way more promising.

Pie town is an interesting place. We spent about 2 hours there looking around and talking to the volunteer fireman and eating pie!! I had pear pie!!!! WOW!! AMAZING!!!!

Love the 191! Ridden it several times. If I remember rightly there’s a campground in the high country there called Sheep’s Saddle. Great place to camp if you plan to make a loop and ride the road twice. You’re right, rough road surface but fantastic twisties. I remember a cool sign that said there were mountain curves for the next 30 miles. Now that’s rider heaven.

Just love pie, enough said.

Love your videos girl very awesome ride safe love your adventures

Staci, great route and great views. Good luck.

Just watched the crossover video Amanda Zito posted with you. Subscribed and watching. Have a great weekend.

I rode the west side last fall (up through Alpine). Great rode, when it says 15 mpg it means it. Can’t wait to do the full loop this year.

You did have pie at the original pie place in Pie Town. The original is called the Pie-O-Neer just 1/4 mile east of where you stopped. Which I think is a good thing. Every time I pass through Pie Town I stop for pie. Last year I stopped in and the pie was not very good, this year the pie was a little better but every time I stop they do not have apple pie. The Pie-O-Neer changed hands a few years ago and since then the pies have taken a step down in quality. Thanks for the video.

Ya I was out there from GA a few years ago and experienced the same condition though had a lot of fun still talk about it. Ride on and have fun.

This is my favorite road in the entire United States. I’ve never seen a ‘Tube vid on it, never seen it mentioned in a forum (besides me). Amazing place, and Hannagan’s Meadow is a great place to spend the night along the way.

Cool ride 😎

7:39 Bear Wallow Cafe in Alpine has an awesome variety of delicious pies 200 yards from where you are right here.

That pie looked amazing. Now I want to get a pie.

Wow great channel. I just found it. A new Sub.

Wow ! Now that’s a ride . A very interesting route that I’m not familiar with. . From Phoenix I’ve gone to Globe then headed north on a beautiful road . I think it’s 60 which goes up to Snowflake area and I’ve gone into New Mexico from there . . Really enjoyed your ride . Enjoy Taos . I was there about five years ago. Beautiful area . May I suggest while in that area go visit Taos Ski area . You don’t actually have to go to the ski area it’s just a beautiful scenic drive towards it . You’ll be glad you did if you haven’t been there before.

I'm riding to Alpine on Friday. First time going "up" 191. I've ridden south a few times previously. Looking forward to the "better" direction. You had my mouth watering for pie! I'm heading to Boulder the following week and stopping off in NM at a friend's. Was looking forward to grabbing a pie. Unfortunately, I'm riding on Wednesday and according to their website they're closed Tues and Wed... Maybe on the way back to Mesa. Keep it rubber side down.

That was my fav ride when living in AZ from 97-03. Took many trips up there from Gilbert on multiple bikes (BMW R1100GS, Honda VFR800, Honda CBR929RR) and with multiple friends staying at Alpine most of the time. The food in Alpine was always a bummer though lol...

I would totally ride 500 miles for Pie

I still live in Phx, and I have ridden and camped off 191. Great views for sure. One February I was in my car heading west from Socorro N.M., a snow storm hit and I could not see the lines in the road. Finally stopped in Pie town to sleep in my car. Man it was cold! At sunup the snow had stopped thank God.

Love that stretch of road taken it many times going to alpine or showlow

That pie is the stuff dreams are made of

I'm gonna have to do that one. Gonna have two feet of snow before I get my bike back up here .

I went on US-191 on a Saturday in May 2021. Almost nobody was on the road. It was great. Definitely a little scary at parts, but the view is wonderful.
