Arizona 88 - Apache Junction to Globe

Never in a RV, but with the Cherokee several times. I think that you would like US 60 better.

if that,s the dirt road that goes to apache lake ?yes I,ve driven it in a truck.I think there,s a sign before you get on the road that says some thing about lenght. its a long slow twisty road.not really a place to take a rv but it was a great adventure and had lunch at the marina rest . brings you out at the roosevelt dam.

Not recommended for large vehicles!
If you have not seen it check this out Apache Trail
Make the loop as a day trip in your truck then take 60 when you move. The first 14 miles from Apache Junction are paved and there is even a campground at Tortilla Flat. After that the road turns to gravel and some of it is a very steep down hill section.

I did it one time in a 4x4 SUV pulling a 20' travel trailer. There is no way I'd consider doing it again. And remember, this is the height of monsoon season in Arizona until sometime in September. You could experience flash flooding at any time.

That 14 miles is paved but it is really rough, narrow and twisty. Not for my RV thank you or my motorcycles.

Max recommended length is 27 foot.
CG at Tortilla Flat closed due to budget cuts. Parts of the dirt road are one lane and steep and twisty.

Don't even think about it. Are you prepared to back up hill for as long as it takes to find a wide enough portion to let an up hill vehicle {they have the right of way}, pass? There aren't many.
Spectacular road but for RV's... not so much.

:C

Fagedaboudit!

No way! The road is often very washboard in places, and very dusty, with some very steep grades. Not a good thing for an RV of any type.

I've done it with my TC, and I'd do it again if there wasnt rain in the forecast. If I wasn't pressed for time and could wait for it to dry out after a rain, I'd be ok with that too. I wouldn't want to drag a trailer on that road or drive a class A, but I've seen both on it in areas that you wouldn't think they could get to. It even made me wonder how the heck they got in there, and would they be able to get out.
