If your coming from Phoenix, or Tucson, theres a good chance you are considering driving through the Salt River Canyon. Personally, we love this drive! Its like driving through a mini Grand Canyon! The views are amazing! There are plenty of pull off stops for instagram photos, a quick hike, or a chance to pull our your She-Wee to for relief! From Phoenix its about a 3 hour drive to Lakeside, and from Tucson about 3.5 hours. The scenic drive alone is worth every minute. You get to experience so many landcapes you will be in awe most of the drive!. Here is a quick video we shot with our go pro going through the NORTHERN Salt River Canyon. The video DOES NOT DO IT JUSTICE! It is waaay cooler in person!
