2. Benson to Globe
BENSON TO GLOBE – 127 miles
Heading north out of Benson will bring you through stunningly fertile farm lands along San Pedro River. The road is wide and hard packed with no major obstacles. It’s a straight shot up to the small town of Mammoth where you can fuel up. Shove a pack of homemade tortillas in your pannier, the tiny Mexican restaurant next to the gas station in Mammoth makes them hot and fresh and they are possibly the best we ever tasted.
From Mammoth you will parallel the highway on a narrow dirt road on your way to Winkelman. The ride from Winkelman to Globe can be on paved Hwy 77 or an ALT Harder section over Pioneer Pass (6,154’). Cactus filled desert disappears into high elevation pine forests if you ride the stunning ridges over the pass.
