Spectacular Scenic Roads Table

All the roads included in our quiz are listed in the table below.  “Map Identification” can be used to locate the drive on our map. Click on the “Name of the Scenic Drive” and you will be taken to a brief description of the drive. Arizona is a huge state and the “Location” column divides the locations of the drives into 3 very large areas.  “Northern” means the drive is north of I 40, the interstate that cuts across Arizona and through Flagstaff. “Southern” means the drive is southeast, southwest or south of Phoenix. The roads in between have been assigned  “Central”.
