"Rte 60" Apache Junction Travelogue by Aaron7
Apache Junction Travel Guide: 47 reviews and 185 photos
Well, today I felt like a ride. My skin got red enough hiking yesterday at Spur Cross even with sunblock on. (See Cave Creek) Well to be honest, I really was in a hiking mood, but I figured take the road and if I ended up at a hiking area... well so be it! ;-) I took Baseline Road in Phoenix as far as it went to the east and actually it did go quite a ways, all the way out to Apache Junction! Eventually it forced a left turn and brought me up to Rte 60. So I figured why not, and turned up onto the highway. I passed a few housing developments (Yes, they are even building that far out!) and got some great views of the mountains of the Superstition Wilderness. The scenery became very picturesque as I appoached Florence Junction (Rte 60 & Rte 79). There were loads of teddy bear cholla with purple mountains in the distance so I had to pull over and take a few pictures. ;-) The saguaro cacti are the really tall ones for those who don't know.
Now this picture featues some of the cholla in the foreground. The spiky green one is called a spikehorn cholla and the fuzzy ones are teddy bear cholla. Though contrary to the name, they are just as sharp! ;-)
For more on this trip, go to my Superior Arizona travelouge. ;-)
