Before I was able to continue my kicks on Route 66, I first had a to travel the highway that almost gave it's number to the Mother Road: US 60.
US 60 was originally supposed to run from Chicago, IL to Los Angeles, CA. This route was later disputed, as others had been working on a true trans-continental highway that they felt was more deserving of a '0' designation. AASHTO agreed, gave the original US 60 a new number of US 66, and gave the US 60 designation to the new, more southern route.
Originally running from Newport News, VA to Springfield, MO, the road pushed east and west. In 1930, the east end was pushed 40 miles east to Virginia Beach, VA and the west end to Amarillo, TX acting as a supplemental US 66 is many places. From there, US 60 replaced US 366 from Amarillo to Clovis, NM, and replaced US 70 from there to Springerville, AZ (US 70 was later moved to a more southern route with it's old western leg to Holbrook transferred to US 260, and ultimately US 180).
Finally, in 1932, US 60 reached it target of Los Angeles, and of course had to run through Phoenix to get there. It entered the valley on the Apache Trail, now co-routed with US 70, 80 and 89, through Apace Junction (now the Old West Hwy), which becomes Main St after entering Mesa, and later reverts to Apache Blvd as it enters Tempe. From there the highway curved north onto historic Mill Ave in downtown Tempe, crossed the historic Mill Ave bridges, and turns into Van Buren St as the road curved west. (I believe Washington St was Alternative 60/70/80/89).
From here, US 60, 70 and 89 moved to the diagonal-running Grand Ave (the only misplaced road in the grid system) where AZ-69 began at Van Buren. US 80 continued solo down Van Buren St, where it turned south on 17th Ave, and finally west on Buckeye Rd on it's way out of town.
SR 69 left Grand Ave to follow the Black Canyon Hwy. This was completely replaced in the valley by the Black Canyon Freeway, now I-17. US 89 departed in Wickenburg along what is now US 93. US 60 and 70 continued together into California at Blythe. Interstate 10 replaced US 60 and 70 from Brenda Junction to Beaumont, CA. As such, all three were co-routed along the new Interstate. In 1964, after California's Great Renumbering, US 60 and 70 were truncated to the Arizona border. AASHTO approved the 1966 truncations of US 60 to Brenda Junction and US 70 to Globe, so US 70 no longer enters the valley.
To this day, US 60 enters the Valley of the Sun on it's original alignment. Quickly thereafter, however, the Superstition Freeway picks up US 60 and moves traffic through Apache Junction and Mesa to the Tempe/Phoenix line. There, the Superstition ends and merges with the Maricopa Freeway, at this point I-10. From there it follows the Maricopa Freeway to the southern I-17 junction, where I-10 leaves to follow the Inner Loop Freeway and I-17 begins on the Maricopa.
At a 90 degree elbow in the freeway, nicknamed the Durango Curve, both I-17 and US 60 become the Black Canyon Freeway. US 60 leaves the freeway at Thomas Rd. There, US 60 makes a confusing series of quick lefts and rights to reach the historic Grand Ave. From there, US 60 leaves the valley heading west, also along it's historic alignment.

Salt River Canyon Ride
En route from Sacramento back to Santa Fe on Wednesday, April 8, 2015, via Southern California and the Phoenix area, I rode US Route 60 from Apache Junction, AZ, through the Fort Apache indian Reservation and on to New Mexico. It is a beautiful ride. This section, spanning the Salt River Canyon, is one of the most scenic.
