DEVIL’S HIGHWAY LOOP DETAILS:
The “Loop” will start in Alpine and wind its way east into New Mexico (Hwy 180). We will make our way to the Heifer Basin scenic overlook and then to Glenwood, New Mexico for a brief stop. From there, we will hook down and around to Clifton, Arizona (Hwy 78) and then back up to Alpine, Arizona (Hwy 191). The total distance is about 210 miles of spectacular views, mountain vistas, high mountain meadows, and enough twists, curves, and long-fast sweepers through multiple elevation changes to make you and your BMW happy for many months to come!
We will drive the loop once – on Saturday. Departure will be on Saturday morning, at about 9:30 am, from the Escudilla Mountain Cabins.
Our stop to refuel at the Marathon station in Morenci will probably be before lunch.
We will stop for lunch around 12:30 pm at Michelle’s in Morenci. Michelle always takes very good care of us.
Once we are all fed and rested, we will get back to it and continue the route back up to Alpine on the deliciously twisty portion of Highway 191 – the Devil’s Highway! We will make one final stop at the Blue Vista Outlook.
Once we return to Alpine, you will have the opportunity to recap your extraordinary adventure with other BMW enthusiasts, over a delicious meal, at the Foxfire at Alpine Restaurant at 7 pm.
