Fotoeins Friday on AZ US-60: Salt River Canyon
On US-60/AZ-77 in Arizona, on our day-long drive from Tucson, AZ to Santa Fe, NM.
About halfway between Globe and Show Low is the very scenic Salt River Canyon Rest Area. It’s a great place to stretch the legs, descend to the river canyon below, or walk across the 1934 bridge which is now only for pedestrian use. The replacement New Salt River Canyon Bridge (Apache Bridge) opened in 1996. The river and rest area lie on the territorial lands of the San Carlos Apache and the White Mountain Apache peoples. The Salt River flows west and converges downstream with the Gila river in southwest Phoenix.
I made the picture above on 19 October 2018 with a Fujifilm X70 fixed-lens prime and the settings: 1/1000-sec, f/10, ISO1000, and 18.5mm focal length (28mm full-frame equivalent). This post appears on Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins DOT com as https://wp.me/p1BIdT-eEz.

I have not been to this part of America, but it looks like a good place for adventure, especially for my boys. 🙂

I imagine vast tracts and swaths of Arizona and New Mexico would be great for both parents and the lads. 😎
