25 ARIZONA HIGHWAY 77
(north of Tucson, AZ)
About 35 miles north of Tucson there
is a northbound descent on highway 77.
It is posted "7% next 12 miles" but it is not a steady
grade. The 7% sections alternate with
sections of mild grade. Even so, heat
can build up in brakes on such a grade so use caution. It is a good two lane road with occasional
climbing lanes and mild curves.
