Great advice. Did this ride earlier this year and it's some of the best riding in AZ.
Go to Show Low take highway 60 east out of Show Low to 180 south through western part of New Mexico then pick up 78 West tell it goes into 191 take 191 north.
191 is the old Devils Highway it use to be Highway 666 but they changed the numbers.
Also known as the Coronado Trail number 20 on the top 100 motorcycle roads web site.

Very scenic, but don't be careless, it is a ride for experienced riders.

Wiltat, Thanks that is just what I'm looking for. Might have to do that.
jmorgan, I also though about southern Utah. Did Zion, Bryce, Grand Canyon last year. I wanted to go from Bryce to Grand Staircase but wasn't sure of the road condition. Is it doable on a touring bike?

I've lived in AZ since 1999 and have yet to make it to Tombstone.
For my money, 191 is the best ride in AZ.
Another really nice southern Utah ride is Hwy 14 from Cedar City E to US-89. You go over a 10,000' summit and Cedar Breaks Nat'l Monument is right there. It's a real nice ride with lots of trees, alpine meadows, and Navajo Lake is beautiful.
I wanted to ride it this year, but the road was closed due to a landslide.

OK, I think I have a trip outline. Ventura, Prescott, Jerome, Rt191, Petrified Forest/Painted Desert, Canyon De Chelly, Antelope Canyon, Grand Canyon, Laughlin. Will spend 10 or 11 days getting to Laughlin and will stop and camp where something looks good or we get tired of riding for the day.

Oatman is a cool little town, and the ride out there on the 66 is good. I make it out there all the time when I am in AZ.
