2011-- Salt River Canyon, Arizona

Travelling north on highway 60, we suddenly find ourselves on a very steep road.  The elevation is 6723feet.  We travel at a very slow pace of 25 to 30 mph for approximately 32 miles.  The road is steep ( 6.5%) and one hairpin turn after an other.  The Salt River is beautiful with a small water falls at the bottom.  There is a yellow sports car over the side on the north end that just didn't quite make the turn.  It was very windy and not to warm up at that elevation so I was surprised to see flowers growing up there.
This is surely a must see to experience the grandeur of it all.
