The start of the ride you could see a bit of the town and as the ride progressed it became better and better. Blue sky as far as you can see and desert breezes push you along every mile. The road from Tonto Basin will wind you past Roosevelt Lake off in the distance to your left, and the Roosevelt Damn off to your right. The round trip back to Tonto Basin with cascading mountains laid out before you. The freedom of the ride between Maricopa and Gila County is as breathtaking as it it challenging.
