State Route 89A (SR 89A) is an 83.85-mile (134.94 km) state highway that runs from Prescott north to Flagstaff in the U.S. state of Arizona. The highway begins at SR 89 and heads northward from Prescott, entering Jerome. From Jerome, the route then heads to Cottonwood and Sedona. The highway is notable for its scenic value as it passes through Sedona and the Oak Creek Canyon. The route then enters Flagstaff, where it crosses Interstate 17 (I-17) and I-40. The highway ends at I-40 Business in Flagstaff. What is now SR 89A became a state highway in the late 1920s as SR 79. The highway was extended and improved several times through 1938. SR 79 was renumbered to U.S. Route 89A (US 89A) in 1941 and then to SR 89A in the early 1990s.

This pic was taken shortly after the tail.

Awesome! I am planning to head up that way soon, hitting the Blue Ridge Parkway tomorrow with the family, probably around Blowing Rock area. Supposed to be a nice day. Did you head up 28 into the Dragon or did you come up from the TN side?

Unfortunately not. But I do plan to go back home that way today.

We like back roads. Favorite around the block trip(MA, NH, VT back to MA) so far is 47 to 63 to 10 into Keene, 9 over to Brattleboro, then 91 back down. Nice few hours of driving, great scenery, not a lot of traffic, and some awesome places to eat along the way.
