Journaling: The Salt River Canyon is sometimes called the mini-Grand Canyon, with its stark, sweeping vistas carved by millions of years of erosion. It’s 2,000-foot-deep river canyon that's loaded with history and some of the most dramatic views ever seen from a car window. It's a nine-mile drive from rim to rim along a series of switchbacks that bring you down to the valley floor, then up the opposite side. At the bottom of the canyon, the Salt River roils through its rocky bed, unfettered by dams and channels, which harness the river downstream. At its lowest point, the road crosses the river over a curving bridge, which is paired with an older highway bridge that is now used only for foot traffic.
(As a child I was terrified when we went through the canyon, the road is filled with switchbacks and steep grades, and the remains of a couple of vehicles that dot the sides of the steep cliffs below you are a scary reminder of what could happen if you don't concentrate on your driving! But, it's a beautiful place to see!)
