Nice ride. It's not true that there are no places…

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.

This route is simply amazing, my wife and I spent the day on a BMW 1200 GS doing this. The views are spectacular the entire time, on the way out to Roosevelt it got a little chilly, but from Roosevelt back to Mesa it was HOT. Roads are good condition, the hwy 60 section was a bit under construction as of 3/10/16, but still great ride.

Good ride, perfect for just getting out on the road for part of a day. Mostly open highway, Mostly desert and high desert terrain but between Globe and Apache Junction on 60 some 2 lane mountain terrain. I do it often.

Nice ride. Varied landscape was great for the ADD types in our crew.
