This
route starts out about 80 miles east of Phoenix in Globe
Arizona and covers some great scenery, from a road with
great twists and turns and offers some pretty cool things
to do along the way. Then you end up in frontier town of
Show Low Arizona where there are a lot of places to eat
and places to stay for the night (over 600 hotel rooms)
and a casino if you want to make a weekend trip out of it.
You'll start out in a desert landscape and then make your
way north and up in elevation. You'll be able to see many
mountain peaks and ranges and enter the San Carlos Apache
Reservation (was at one point the home of Geronimo). You'll
pass by Seneca Lake where you can walk around the lake and
find the Seneca Lake waterfalls. You're drive will bring
you up to an incredible view of the colorful Salt
River Canyon. And you'll get some great views of the
White Mountains and the Mogollon Rim that travels all the
way north into Colorado.

This is one great road for motorcycles! It's a great mix of curves and sweepers with a few nice sections of switchbacks thrown in (especially around Seneca) broken up with some straightaways in between. Something for all types of riders!

Roadside Amenities: 
|
This
road offers nice pull-offs that give you great views of
the changing scenery. Also there is ample camping and fishing
opportunities and if you're up for it, you can do some white
water rafting in the Salt river (another
rafting company link). Globe
Arizona has the remains of an interesting 700 year old
Native American pueblo. You can walk around the former 200
room structure and even climb some of the ladders leading
to the different levels. Its called the Besh-Ba-Gowah
Archaeological Park and it has the world's largest collection
of what they call Salado
Pottery. Globe has a long and interesting
history and is one of the world's largest source of
turquoise in the world and home to some impressive arts
and craft shops. You can also visit Globe
during Apache Days (October) and watch the many Native
American displays and shop for Native American crafts, arts,
clothing and even food. At the Seneca Lake Recreation Area
you can just walk around and see the falls or do some fishing.
The road I describe ends in Show
Low Arizona where you can find plenty to do; including
a Casino.
