Gila County, AZ
Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.
ADOT rest area between mileposts 292–293 on US 60 at the bottom of Salt River Canyon—the 'mini Grand Canyon' highway descent between Globe and Show Low. Pedestrian access to the historic 1934 bridge and river-bank views of bridges, cliffs, and rapids make it a genuine desert canyon stop, not just a bathroom break.
