Jerome to Williams GP

This is a 49 mile well-graded gravel/paved road between Jerome and Williams.  It provides access to a large area, but only the southern portion of it is an interesting ride.
​
The very first part after leaving Jerome follows an old railroad bed.  There are a few narrow spots through old railroad cuts, but most of it is wide enough to pass oncoming traffic easily.  Nice views of the Verde Valley.

There is a GPS - gpx track at the bottom of the page.

The stretch from the old railroad bed to Perkinsville is also well-graded and wide along mostly high country.  Nice vistas of red rock formations to the east and open country to the west.

The road north of Perkinsville is unremarkable, and I suggest you find somewhere else to go unless you have a reason to reach Williams.  The first portion is a good graded road through somewhat open country, but the views are limited.  The paved portion is a 50 MPH road through stands of Ponderosa Pine.
