Description
The Salt River Canyon Scenic Drive is one of the most scenic routes in Arizona. The drive takes you through the rugged Salt River Canyon, past towering cliffs and forests from Globe to Roosevelt Lake. Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to spot wildlife, including Gambel's quail, mule deer, and bighorn sheep. The route also offers stunning views of the river and the canyon floor. It is best to take the drive in the spring or fall when the weather is cooler but is open all year long.
