Throwback Thursday; Chiricahua National Monument, Arizona State Route 186 and Arizona State Route 181
Back in 2012 I was trying to clinch as many of the Arizona State Routes as I could and visit all the National Monuments located in the State. When I had some free time during the winter months I made my way towards Willcox to visit Chiricahua National Monument. During my trip towards the National Monument I took AZ 186 from I-10/US 191 in Willcox and AZ 181 to US 191 as I was leaving. AZ 186 is an approximately 33.4 mile state route. AZ 186 begins at a junction with I-10/US 191 in Willcox on Rex Allen Drive and continues to Haskell Avenue. AZ 186 uses a former alignment of AZ 86 on Haskell Avenue to reach Marley Street. AZ 186 exits Willcox on Marley Street heading eastward towards Chiricahua National Monument. East of Willcox the alignment of AZ 186 enters the Dos Cabezas Range and passes by a small community of the same name before meeting AZ 181 at an eastern terminus near Chiricahua National Monument. AZ 186 was supposedly created in 1955....
