Turn right at Winkelman onto AZ-177, and it will take you past a huge open pit copper mine and back to the US-60 at Superior.

Or, turn on AZ-188 and ride past Roosevelt Lake, through the towns of the Tonto Basin, past Jake's Corner (a biker bar, restaurant, campground and small store) and you hit AZ-87 (Beeline Hwy) about 18 miles S or Payson. Turn left and it will take you back to Ftn Hills.

Both are real nice rides and quite scenic.
It's whatever we decide I suppose.
