Designated a Scenic Road in 1986, the Highway travels past the outskirts of the Superstitions Mountains, through Queen Valley. After passing the famed Boyce Thompson Arboretum, you drive through several picturesque Canyons, including Queen Creek and Devil's Canyons. Along this Route you will also be passing through 4 different biotic communities with seasonal, riparian areas. History also abounds along this Highway as you drive through the historic, mining communities of Superior and Miami.
