This is a scenic paved road that leads to Hurricane Mesa, where the infamous Flying Monkey Trail begins. This Mesa was a testing ground for ejection seats during the Cold War. Fortunately, for these tests on the Mesa, crash test dummies were used, but that used to be different. Way back in the day, live chimpanzees were chosen as test subjects. As a nod to past practices, the dummies were called Flying Monkeys.
