Route description

The southern terminus of SR 288 is located on SR 188 southeast of Theodore Roosevelt Lake. The highway heads north from this intersection through mountainous terrain as it heads towards Young. Portions of the highway are not paved and it does not intersect any other state highways other than SR 188 at its southern terminus. The northern terminus is located at an intersection with Chamberlain Trail near Young. The roadway continues on as a National Forest road.[1][2]

The 220 ft., single-lane bridge over the Salt River (Arizona) near the head of Theodore Roosevelt Lake was completed in 1920.[3]

History

The route was established in 1959 as a state route.[4] The highway received its scenic road designation in 2001.[5]
