Traveling to Miami by RV

Miami sits along US Highway 60, the main east-west route connecting Phoenix to Globe and Show Low. The drive from Phoenix takes about 90 minutes through dramatic desert scenery, with the road climbing steadily from the valley floor into copper country. RVers should note that US-60 includes some steep grades and winding sections, particularly the stretch known as the Salt River Canyon, though most modern rigs handle it without issue.

The Apache Trail (State Route 88) provides a spectacular but challenging alternate route from the Phoenix area. This partially unpaved road isn't recommended for large RVs or those pulling trailers, but smaller rigs can navigate it with care. The paved portion from Apache Junction to Roosevelt Lake offers stunning views before connecting to US-60 near Globe.

Fuel up in Superior or Globe, as Miami's gas stations are limited. The Walmart Supercenter in Globe, about 7 miles east, provides the closest major grocery shopping and RV supplies. Several truck stops along US-60 can accommodate large rigs for fuel and basic supplies. The route from Tucson via US-77 north offers another scenic approach, passing through Oracle and connecting to US-60 at Winkelman.
