Looking for the best route from Apache Junction, AZ to El Paso with a 36 DP and toad. I’m looking at 60 to Globe, 70 to Safford, then 191 down to I-10.

Can I avoid the Winslow to Payson type route this year without going west to I-10 like I’ve done in the past without adding a day to the route

I did do 87 from Winslow down to Payson and then down to Phoenix with the N Bush Highway to the 202 last year and one section of that I do not want again. That was the section down to Payson. I’ll go back to Holbrook and take 377 to 260 to Payson.

Will I avoid the very narrow curves like last year going the proposed route. Will take options if there are any.

Thanks for the help.
