Written Directions
East of Phoenix/Mesa on US 60, past Gold Canyon, Queen Valley and Top of the World to Globe. Then west on AZ 188, past Roosevelt Lake and Tonto Basin to Punkin Center. Popular biker bar there, but I'm not into that, so on to Beeline Highway (AZ 87), and southbound home to Mesa.
Scenery
Excellent views of Roosevelt Lake and Tonto Basin riding west from Globe. No place to stop for pictures. Will have to bring my helmet camera next time.
Drive Enjoyment
Mild cornes and terrain on mountain road most of the way. This is cruiser riding at its best. Open road, not much traffic.
Tourism Opportunities
Okay restaurants. Good camping in Roosevelt Lake area. Not many places to stop, but that's not what I'm after.
