Riding the Salt River Canyon

Long awaited ride fulfilled today. Scott and I rode US 60 east through the Salt River Canyon some 100+ miles from Apache Junction. The route climbs over a 5000 ft pass and then drops from 4300 ft to 3300 ft and back up to 4300 ft in just a few miles where the highway crosses the Salt River.

The following picture shows the southern cut to the bridge.

This is the river as it flows toward the bridge.
