Best Way

Post by FOTG »

OK I am a creature of habit, and when going to places like Campaign TH or the Sierra Ancha I have always taken US 60 through Superior, Miami, Globe and then left on 188 towards Tonto Monument, because that is just the way I have always gone...

However, recently someone told me I was crazy and that the best way to those areas (from North Central Phoenix where I live) is 202E to 87N and then 188 turn off towards Tonto Monument and the Sierra Ancha turnoff near Roosevelt.

I don't see a huge difference in miles, but you do have the lights to contend with using the 60.... however, I was interested to know what people think who have lived in AZ for most of their lives or longer than me...the 60 through Globe...or 87 North to 188...any quick feedback would be nice :)
