"This web site helped me plan this trip. We were going to do the Grand Canyon but after seeing the pictures with deep snow-decided to stay near PHX. After riding in the snow area of Show Low we now know we could have ridden the Canyon route ok. Thank you!" Jackie

Motorcycle Road Scenery:

March 2008, we rented a 2007 HD Road King Classic from Liberty Motorcycle Rentals (new owner-Gary from Maple Grove, MN relocated his bikes to AZ 888-484-0477 rental was everything he said it would be-awesome!) located near the PHX airport. West 60/Superstition - some freeway riding here - hillsides of yellow flowers bloom, pass the Renaissance Festival winter site - to Apache Junction. Stopped at Dos Hermanos-bike bar and watched the bikes go by. Continued on 60 to Superior then Globe. Still lots of bikes, BUT after Globe - only bikes headed south!!! Get gas - road to Show Low very sparse gas. Start to climb noticeably - is cooling off. All leathers on now. Road is very manageable but bendy and curvy with incredible views. Stop at Salt River Canyon look out. Awesome!!! Apache Indians vend hand made jewelry here. Going north - colder. 7000 ft.up - Show Low very small -HonDah Casino - 15 min outside town - clean-affordable-outside hot tub - good choice. deep snow now but roads good - Ski Hill-name unknown-nearby.

Motorcycle Road Quality:

Flat road out of PHX with some freeway riding. Traffic heavy to the Renaissance Festival site-then opens up. Roads are very good with lots of curves and gradual climbing. With 2 on the bike it was very comfortable at all times.

Motorcycle Roadside Amenities:

Renaissance Festival winter home on HWY 60 to Apache Junction. Dos Hermanos Bike bar - Apache Junction. HonDah casino is very clean and has good amenities and family friendly.
