Pretty climb. Not terribly difficult, but the views are pretty worth it. Be ready for a screaming descent back down after turning around where the road turns to dirt.

No one out here in the middle of nowhere, except the climb, which doesn't kick that steep, but is about as long as one will find in the PHX area. Really nice views at the top.

The routed climb is open, but the rest of the dirt road to Roosevelt Dam is closed to all traffic due to recent flooding. I just tried it last week on my gravel bike and made it about 4 miles up the road before I gave up, since I was stopping every 100 yards to walk over a rockslide or something. Parts wouldn't have been rideable on a mountain bike.
If you're going to do this one, don't miss out on the Canyon Lake climb - the prettier of the two IMO. Also, Tortilla Flat is a party. Historic biker bar with some great food local brews and live music.
