Globe to Socorro, NM

Not long after leaving Globe on hwy 60 E, I entered the Salt River Canyon Wilderness area that looked similar to the Grand Canyon. It was a spectacular view from the winding steep road that took me down to the canyon floor and back up on the other side. I stopped at a vantage point near the top of the canyon to take some photos and to absorb the view. I met some people on their way to Show Low and I got the history lesson of how the town got its name. Many years ago, two partners were not getting along so they gambled the town on the lowest card draw. The man who won drew a duece of clubs which is the name of the main street leading in and out of town.
