We were in Willcox on Thursday and left from there on Hwy 186 to go to the Fort Bowie ruins. Problem we ran into was the last eight or so miles was dirt. We rode it and the road was bladed well but our bikes were filthy. Not so sure this is the proper road for a two-up touring bike. Road felt a little squirrely at times.

I would recommend I-10 to the Bowie off-ramp. The road to Ft Bowie is paved except the last 7/10ths of a mile.

Once you arrive you'll find it's a 1.5 mile hike to the ruins of the fort. Lots of history in the area from the Indian war with the Apaches.
