Come join the Arizona 356 Outlaws on another world class scenic weekend drive to Bisbee and Southern Arizona.
Bisbee was considered the most refined city west of the Mississippi in its heyday and retains a cool funky vibe to this day with its selection of bars, restaurants, shops and local color. Bisbee is known as a party town and St. Patrick's Day weekend will surely be epic, so make your lodging reservations ASAP.
Friday March 16
The Bulldog Kliffs Rennen starts on Friday with Outlaws meeting for lunch in Tucson. The event will kick off in the parking lot of La Encantada shopping center outside AJ's market March 16 at 1:00 PM with a drivers' meeting. Please be gassed, fed and ready to go. La Encantada offers several dining options if you choose to eat there:

NOTE: If traveling on I-10, your GPS may route you to the Ina Road off ramp. That ramp is closed due to construction. The best alternative is to take the next exit South, Orange Grove, turn left and follow it East, all the way to Skyline.

Pay heed to the No Right Turn sign at Orange Grove and Skyline. Call if you get lost, STP 520-419-0359.
The drive then leaves Tucson for arrival in Bisbee. We will be traveling back roads in Southern Arizona with some interesting places along the way. Some may elect to spend more time at one or more of the places we pass. To facilitate this, route maps will be provided to lead you to our ultimate destination, Bisbee, AZ.
