Planing on coming in mid January and will be staying in Wilcox. How many days should we plan to stay? Looking at two days in Wilcox and a day trip to Tombstone and a couple of nights in Tucson. Thoughts?

There are no scary drop offs like you find in Colorado on some of those high-elevation roads. The road is only 6 to 9 miles long, it is paved and two lanes. There are spacious parking lots at to Lookout areas. I would encourage you to go because it's not like driving on the side of a mountain when you have switchbacks. Enjoy the Rocks they are like none you've ever seen.
