Took this road out of Globe late April 2016. Great road! Really has a nice mix of everything. Beautiful scenery, tight twisty sections, sweepers and long straights sections. Road condition was near perfect as in no potholes, etc. I counted 4 LEO's all running their radar. Traffic was moderate midweek. Would I go 500 miles out of my way just to run it? No. But if it could be included into my journey and only add 100 miles or so... I would add it.

Took this ride with a buddy who rides a 2006 ZX-6RR. Beautiful scenery, nice twisties. Saw 1 LEO who was just patrolling looking for broken down cars. Many places to stop and take pics, especially once you get down to the Salt River Canyon.

Another great road to ride in Arizona. I live in Arkansas so I don't get out here often enough, as I would prefer. However, when I do, I like to research first for some good roads to ride. Highway 60 through Salt River Canyon doesn't disappoint. I road south from Show Low to Globe and it was a great ride all the way. You start in the cool green forest of ponderosa trees before dropping slowly down into the Salt River Canyon and then crossing the picturesque bridge over the river and then back up the other side of the canyon on down to Globe. Fantastic scenery and good curves and elevation changes throughout most of the route. Word of warning, hydrate yourself before, during and after your ride. I road through there in June and cooked myself and experienced heat exhaustion. I had drank lots of water and it still happened to me. As you all know, ridng a motorcycle can really suck the moisture out of you, and especially in the dry air of Arizona. I recommend this road to any that brave the heat and see some great scenery along the way. Be safe!

Just rode the 60 north to south - late Sept traffic for a Saturday was quite moderate. Great pavement and plenty of passing opportunities. Relatively high LEO presence, but a few reasonably tight sections beckoning a spirited burst. Nice varied collection of turns and scenery, with noticeable temperature increase by arrival in Globe. Several food and gas stops available. Will ride it again if in the area, but would not make a special trip.

This section of Hwy 60 is a lot of fun but it is also pretty busy, especially on the weekends. Fortunately, there are plenty of places to pass those pesky trucks and RVs. The Salt is a mini Grand Canyon except this one you can ride right down one side and back up the other. There are a few technical curves on the south side but for the most part you can maintain good speed with a little peg dragging here and there. Road surface is usually excellent. Highly recommended!
