Highlights
This is not an especially interesting road in itself, but the places it will take you are very interesting. At the north end, you'll be in Flagstaff near I-40 and Route 66. As you head south you can see a radio tower, The Arboretum at Flagstaff, Northern Arizona University Centennial Forest, Rogers Lake, and finally, be approaching Mill Park to the south. Dispersed Camping areas can be found further south, including on top of the Mogollon Rim. There are also a lot of other connecting forest roads and trails that give you access to a lot of great places to enjoy the Coconino National Forest.
