Well, this one is only about an hour or so from my house:

(the section just south of Prescott is fantastic).

And this is only about 10 min from my house:

(has a bit more traffic though -- but mid-day on a weekday is pretty empty)...

A bit further away (5 hours or so), and probably the best driving road in AZ (the local BMWCCA chapter organizes a trip once a year):

Unfortunately, the northern portion of that road was in the big AZ fire this summer, so not as scenic as it used to be...
