Are you talking about US 60 between Globe and Show Low? That is a fun road. So is US 191 (formerly 666, the Highway of the Beast) from Morenci up to Alpine. Long time since I've driven either one, though.
yes that’s The One — US 60, Salt River Canyon. decades ago they Reengineered that road and expanded the width and banked all the curves so that going uphill you can really fly as long as you don’t have somebody in front of you.
