89A to 89 to Flagstaff - is it Class A friendly road
I will be traveling from Fredonia to Flagstaff on 89A to 89. Are these roads class A friendly, towing a tahoe ?

Yes they are and many do it.... no other way to get to Flagstaff.
89 is almost flat to Page, AZ. After leaving Page you'll see a truck sign to "check brakes & to use lower gear next 5 miles". The grade down with be a 6% for about 4 miles. There's a runaway truck ramp.
89A - From Fredonia you'll have a easy uphill. At Jacob Lake you'll be in a lovely pine forest. (no lake here, by the way) Then you have a descent down to desert. The descent is around 10 miles of 5-6% with curves. It's a good road. Before the descent there's an extremely wide scenic pull-off on the right. Stop and take in the view! We've done both in both directions. No problem with our 40' motorhome.
