Great drive, but most parts require you to go 40 to 50mph, so it is hard to see scenery with a car on your tail the whole way. The first part is like that with mostly nice houses along the way, but it gets more scenic as you near Pinnacle Peak and beyond. Finally at the end, there is almost a 360 view of all the mountains which is a Kodak moment for sure. You can pull over in spots and take photos, so it's not that bad, but might be better to go on a lazy weekend rather than a weekday like I did. Enjoy.
