Amazing Drive, Phoenix to Globe, AZ

Music by Kevin MacLeod incompetech.com "Sunshine". We were driving east from Phoenix to Globe and saw some amazing scenery. Highway 60, east of Phoenix Apache Junction Mesa to Globe Miami Superior Claypool

This is very nice. Because of videos like this, I can show my friend in Cape Town South Africa where I went on my Arizona holiday in 1990.

Thanks for the memory.used to drive from safford to Phoenix decades ago

We two were teenagers from Texas in February 1974 in a CJ5 Jeep heading to Reno Nevada and passed this way in early morning darkness, driving a bit fast around the curves. Couldn't see anything with those old headlights. In 2011, I wanted to pass this way again and see what we missed 37 years earlier. Had I known the cliff sides and sharp turns that high up, I'd never had driven that carelessly. There was no speed limit in the desert of Nevada back then( 1974). We saw headlights behind us that disappeared and mirages- great trip.

I worked at the mine outside Superior when it was Magma Copper from 1993 to 1996. I lived in Globe so this was my daily commute to work. Thanks for posting, it brought back a lot of memories.

Thank you so much it is so beautiful

[@cacatr4495]

Thanks for sharing. To share this video with others, I've included it into my large Arizona playlist, a video tour of much of the state. Thanks for posting.

[@SaddleTrampTV]

Went down that same highway recently as my wife and I rode from Mississippi to California and back on the bike. This is one of our favorite areas we went through as well as Salt River Canyon. We didn't expect to see what we saw, and were very much in awe. We so love the West. Globe was one one of our favorite places to stay the night.

Scattered my Dads ashes up there in 2006 while attending my Uncle Rudy’s Services. Luera Family Pride

[@barbarabelonax428]

Lovely video .........thanks ! Have never driven out in that direction. Been to northern AZ, and the southern parts of AZ, now we'll have to take that drive from PHX out towards Globe.

[@MyGBLife]

It is worth the drive if you are in the area

[@lollypopsweety8249]

Very peaceful place i guess.. And amazing views.. :-)

[@MyGBLife]

Our first drive down this road was amazing and got more amazing as we went. When we came back through the area after a couple of days, it was probably same-o same-o although still scenic

[@MyGBLife]

Good to know..Thank you!

[@lollypopsweety8249]

Yes as i watched the vedio.. Really amazing and peaceful place.. I assume in the night its too dark..

[@davidgrutzmacher5192]

On 1977, I lost my brakes coming down this road.A knuckle biting ride. ican't believe i made it in a 10 wheeler full of concretemThe state troopers were contacted and closed the road at Florence juction.

[@MyGBLife]

It is a Sanyo Xacti 30x advanced zoom full HD1920x1080 if that makes sense. It is a very well used camera several years old. At this point the focus is not as fast as it used to be. I do not remember husband's possible explanation for that but it has been a good camera for us

[@why_u_here68]

I was born there and raised there in globe and never went out of az

[@val13c59]

Wow, I feel bad for you. I heard nothing but bad things about Globe and Miami. Corrupt police, highly meth infestation, lots of racism and prejudice. And very little work. And mostly boring.

[@TheMarried123]

Proud to say I live in Globe, the friendliest town in the west. Everyone is your friend and people don't wear politics on their sleeve. I have made this drive dozens of times and it is always breathtaking and never boring. I Love This Place!!!!!

[@EndergeistYT]

I live here as well!

[@johnganshow5536]

@@EndergeistYT Are there any credit unions in Globe? We are thinking about moving over there from the Chino Valley area. Thanks...

[@machupikachu1085]

Do you still live there? Globe has the worst crime rate in the state now. What happened? Either way, what a gorgeous area to live.

[@eydie57]

In the mid 1960s, when I was 8, we left Phoenix, AZ to go back to Missouri. We got as far as Globe before our car broke down and we had to spend several days in a motel. It was a court style motel, like a motor inn. There was a big river behind it and a bridge to the left and down the street of the motel. Does anyone have any guesses the area this would have been in in Globe?

[@carloscarpinteyro332]

El Rey is my guess, it's still there. it is north of the bridge, south of the courthouse.

[@eydie57]

Thanks! That's the one I thought!

[@carloscarpinteyro332]

You are welcome! I have a house in Globe, and it is just a few blocks from the bridge. Globe got it's name from a man finding a huge sperical shape of silver there, in the later 1800's. Globe is also located in the only penturbian county (Gila), in Arizona. Look at a book by Jack Lesinger called Penturbia. It's a fascinating read about what he projects as to the future population trends for the 48 contgious states of the USA.

[@AnotherOverTaxedTaxPayer]

I've done this drive multiple times in a car and on my Harley bike. You got to do a bike trip for the full impact.

[@MyGBLife]

Never having done this, I can agree.

It was amazing to me from the midwest. I bet most of the drivers did not like following me although I saw places to turn off

[@skylerearven345]

yes AZ is very peaceful but also gets up to 120 degrees (very very VERY HOT) with almost no rain

[@TheMarried123]

But at 4000' at our place 6 miles south of Globe, not so unbearably hot with wintertime snowfalls. The snow-capped peaks are so peaceful and this rural area is so quiet in the snow.

[@skylerearven345]

The only places in Arizona that aren't hot is Show Low and Flagstaff

[@courtsupaz5]

rarely it gets to 120 mostly during the hottest part of summer

[@carloscarpinteyro332]

As you stated, Courtney, the 3rd week of June is always, seemingly, the hottest weather in Arizona, of course, that is what you would expect, at the apex of the vernal (summer) equinox/ longest day of the year

[@cacatr4495]

@@skylerearven345 The entire Mogollon Rim country is cooler, not just Show Low. Prescott too, Mt. Graham, and Safford isn't as cool, but still cooler than PHX and Tucson and the other hot spots. Then there's the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, and Eager and Springerville, not far from Sunrise Ski slopes, while Greer and Alpine get the coldest, with the most snow.

[@stephmargiotti]

Nice clear video, what kind of camera did you use?

[@JO-ly3hi]

Was Michael J Fox the cameraman?

Oh shit you're in Miami, slow down slow down the cops are gonna get you

I'm sure we were too busy looking around and were not looking at the speedometer !
