Way at the bottom in this image there is the main highway through

Clifton and Morenci. It snakes its way up the hill and then through

the mountains in the background, through a tortuous series of

switchbacks. Its 140 miles to Springerville, Alpine a bit less.

Large trucks should not take this road, and in wintertime it is often

impassable. Ranches in this area send their children to boarding

school. Wolves roam the upper reaches. the State Highway number 666

was fitting, but it has been given the bland new number of 191.
