Going that way you will get to see the new bridge.

you are going Vegas to Phoenix, then 93 is my absolute first choice. Only that
one downhill switchback to the dam is tight. Unique treat to watch all the
tourists staring at a PT/WB towing a toad across the dam!

from Kingman to Laughlin. Once you cross over the mountain range, the downhill
side is about 13(?) miles of 7% grade, as I recall, with multiple switchbacks.
Make *very* sure you are in a lower gear when you start the downhill side.
There is also a stop light at the very end of the last downhill section.

the dam (downshift again) and one nasty switchback on the way back up the Nevada
side, but it is a unique ride. However, I think the new bridge bypass is
scheduled for August completion, which will hake it a straight shot.

I can see twists and turns on the map, but I don't have any idea how it would be
with a 40' Bird towing a car.
