Welcome to a great drive to copper-mining country, starting in Mesa. We will head east and thread our way between the Superstition and Pinal Mountains on US-60 then do a loop through the Copper Corridor, with lunch at the Silver King Smokehouse & Saloon in Superior. Total drive is an easy 126 miles with plenty of scenery and fun driving along the way. Here is the Google Maps route: https://maps.app.goo.gl/6dfP6geTEjD3xDUV7

We'll meet at the IHOP in East Mesa. From there we will head east on US-60, pass through Superior and the northern edge of the Pinal Mountains on our way to a stop in Globe.

After a break, we will enjoy the Copper Corridor loop which will take us south along the foothills of the Pinal Mountains on AZ-77 to Winkleman, and then back north on AZ-177 to Superior.

Once back in Superior we'll enjoy lunch at the Silver King Smokehouse & Saloon. And thanks to our gracious hosts, we will have the place to ourselves, with plenty of indoor seating. There will also be outdoor seating available for those that enjoy “al fresco dining,” in the shade of course.
