The route generally parallels the boundary to the Rincon Mountain Wilderness following Ash Creek for the first 7.5 miles. You pass by several ranches and will most likely encounter a few cows on the road. To the west, the Rincon Mountains and Rincon Peak loom inside the Wilderness area.
At mile 9 you reach a high point and then descend down into Miller Canyon where there are a handful of ranches. There are some surprising mountain views along with undulating terrain.
The road quality is reminiscent of Redington Road on the east side of Tucson, but without as much traffic and activity. As mapped, the route goes left a mile 11.9 leading up to a high point.
