Arizona State Route 88

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

State Route 88, also known as SR-88 or Apache Trail, is a state highway in central Arizona that travels east from its junction with U.S. Route 60 in Apache Junction northeast to its junction with State Route 188 at Roosevelt Dam. It roughly follows the route of the Salt River, and between Tortilla Flat and Roosevelt Dam, is an unpaved, winding mountain road that largely dates from the 1930s.

Prior to the construction of State Route 87, the Apache Trail (along with SR-188) served as the main road north from Phoenix to Payson. SR-88 formerly extended further east to Globe; this stretch of Apache Trail is now part of SR-188.
