(Phoenix, AZ) Friday night canyon run, anyone?

Hey guys, gearing up to go on a road trip to Washington state in my recently rebuilt R53, and figured I should probably get some stress testing in before I embark.

Any of you Phoenix guys want to join me and hit Bartlett Dam or the 87 tonight?

Someday you will be able to push a button and you and your Mini will teleported to the road of your choice.

There must be some good twisties out in your area.

Yeah there sure are! Phoenix's driving culture is heavily underrated. We have so many good canyons surrounding the city — Bartlett Dam Road, Tortilla Flats, South Mountain, US-87 to Globe, US-89A to Jerome, Mount Lemmon down in Tucson, etc. Theres a few out further West/East of the city that I haven't hit yet, but seriously, there could be a solid week of road touring just in AZ alone.

Not to mention some of the hidden gems around Paridise Valley and Camelback Mountain

Which road, specifically? Camelback Mountain is filled with police cameras and pedestrians, I had no idea there was anything good out there. 32nd St. and Lincoln has a really nice view of downtown at sunset, though. Did you mean the 87 in PV?

Let's go on a cruise, guys! I don't care where, even Mt. Lemmon would be a good one
