When you get to a frontier town of Show Low, you'll find a casino, lots of eateries and places to stay at. You'll start out in a desert environment and then travel up in elevation north. Along the way you'll see wonderful views of rugged mountain peaks and ranges as you make your way to the San Carlos Apache Reservation.
