Best Arizona Motorcycle Roads Salt River Canyon US 60

[@henryhawk978]

Very beautiful 100% Arizona. The color of the Bonnie goes well with the landscape. Nice . Enjoyed the video and RIDE SAFE!

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks Henry.

That's 88, or The Apache Trail. 60 is south of there, running thru Superior, Miami, Claypool, and Globe, before 60 makes a northern venture toward Show Low. A nicer ride is up 89a, above Wickenburg, ironically off the 60, but on the west side of 17, It goes from an intro part o Twisties by Yarnell to more technical turns on Mingus Mountain, coming into Jerome, and eventually Sedona. From Prescott north, there's always an eastern shortcut to Interstate 17 to quickly go south back to the Phoenix area. Two-wheeled therapy!

Thanks for watching and commenting RJ. This is US 60 actually US60/77. You can see it on the map in the thumb nail and the map in the video. I've been riding this road for 25 years. Be happy to take you and show you somtime. I have a few other videos on AZ88 or Apache Trail to Tortilla Flat. 😁👍

[@RJMay3]

@@azdesertdog Buzz! That's 88 that runs by Desert Flat. It goes from Apache Junction to Roosevelt Dam, on to 188, where If taken south, hooks up with 60 in Globe (Claypool?). 60 runs east thru Superior until you hit Globe, where you can take it south on 71 to take the back way into Tucson. I've got over 1/4 of a million miles logged professionally driving medical passengers from all over AZ...Phx area around most trips. 3 trips went to and from St Joe...2 blocks off the 60 up there, so let's just say I know my way around most of the state.🤔

Great video! Amazing views. I’m riding it later this week with the wife!

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks! Be careful ot can get a little wacky on the holidays. I hope you guys have fun. Ride safe.

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

Interesting that you put this video out, my friend just got into paddle boarding and wanted to go to Salt River to try his skills. I guess I might go along for the riding.

[@azdesertdog]

It would be a great trip for sure.

[@twowheelpursuits]

I did this ride in 2005 on a 2004 BMW K1200GT and it was awsome. Actually I made it from Los Angeles to Albuquerque in 18 hours flat. It had to have been a world record lol. The asphalt was brand spanking new back then..

[@azdesertdog]

It's a great road. In the fall I like to ride 191 and the SRC as a loop. I like to do it over a couple days. Thanks for watching.

[@MJGAZ64]

Love to ride this on my road glide!

[@azdesertdog]

I'm sure. I try to get up there once a year at least.

[@Woodzman]

Definitely a nice ride, enjoyed

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks sir. Hope you are doing well.

Thanks for sharing. Though I live in central Oregon, I'm always looking for places to ride. I know Showlow, and love that area! A great ride, though it is a lot further away from you than US 60, but still worth the effort to go and do, is Utah Hwy 12, from Bryce Canyon, up to Torrey, I believe. It is one of the most amazing bits of scenery you'll encounter anywhere in the world. I've been all over the world, and that is still my favorite ride. It is amazing! Another summer is ahead, with lots of good riding, I pray, though with a 90mph ticket a few days ago on my R1150RS, its tempered my enthusiasm slightly, as 'enforcement ' goes in waves, and it is in a severe wave (towards bikers), right now, here in Oregon...and that's put the kibosh on my riding, at least until I get back on my bike, again. : ) Safe riding, brother!

[@azdesertdog]

I love Utah. Completely agree. Sorry to hear about your ticket and bike. I lived in Mass a long time ago. They saw tickets as a revenue stream.

[@2wheelvintage361]

Nice ride! Love the scenery

[@Sum4Seb]

Gorgeous views! Definitely seems worth it as long as everyone is being considerate of others... Thanks for the ride

[@azdesertdog]

It's not a bad area because it's so remote. With a little patience you can make some nice runs.

[@edbelledin9600]

Beautiful ride and great all around information! Wishing I were a quarter of a century or more younger… I’d sure find a way to be making that ride! Thanks for taking us along. Be safe and be well.

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks Ed. It's a nice area even in a car.

[@edbelledin9600]

@@azdesertdog No doubt; but I’m sure it’s more fun on a bike! 😁

[@rgarizonahomestead2729]

looks like a great riding area either by bike or car. thanks for sharing and please have a great weekend

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks RG. Even in a car it's worth the ride.

[@mohawkmikemotorcycles9077]

Been thinking about that ride for awhile . Thanks for the vid

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks Mike. It's a great ride.

[@erwinaldrian7527]

Cool ride, I just love the Salt River Canyon area!!!

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks for watching! It's been a fun place to ride hike and camp for a long time.

[@patinaz6758]

Did that ride on my Wide Glide many years ago. But through countless times, but pulling a camper. Much prefer two wheels!

[@azdesertdog]

Nice road for sure. My wife has banned us from running our trailer on that road 😁

[@jimanders9971]

Kudos, I have watched a few more of your videos and you do a great job. Seems like professional videography work.

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks for the kind words Jim. Much appreciated.

[@THEBLACKANARCHIST]

Much appreciated

[@azdesertdog]

Thank you for watching!

[@joseadavila7445]

been wanting to do this ride for a while . trying to organise group ride . from sierra vista a.z.

[@azdesertdog]

It's definitely worth it. Hope you get the ride organized. Ride safe.

[@anthonyridesphilly]

I would say it’s well worth the trek to eastern AZ to take in this ride. Green AZ is beautiful.

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks Anthony. I should have stopped for some Apache fry bread.

[@realjarvis]

As a kid I used to stop in the gas station that used to be down in the bottom every time we traveled through there... Jerky, Dr. Pepper, and a bag of chips. Then we'd hike up the river to a "secret spot" and have lunch.

[@azdesertdog]

That sounds great. 20 or so years ago I used to ride with a group and we'd stop in that gas station. Awesome area.

[@ohwell2790]

Live in Kingman and this ride look really nice. Problem might be I ride a Honda Monkey 125z those speed limits are doable on the Monkey. Scenic ride, nice.

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks for watching. It's a ways from you fir sure. I often thought it would be fun on a smaller bike like a Svartpilen 401 but you would need to take it there in a pickup or trailer.

[@Tankerman]

I personally would enjoy a slow pace so I could absorb all of Gods creations. I was fixing to ask about all the green and you answered it, stop reading my mind. Stay safe

[@azdesertdog]

At the bottom the Vistors Center and bridge walk are fun and a nive break.

[@jimanders9971]

Been in the Salt River Canyon hundreds of times at a pace much faster than this guy (of course he is trying to shoot a video, not race). Never have I been stopped by a cop. Just sayin.

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks for your comment.
