From Tempe, US 60 to Show Low seems shorter than Beeline/Payson route. Mostly 4 lane uphill to Payson and also to the Rim.

On 60, some of the 2 lane east of Globe can be a pain if busy.

But, from Globe to SL seems like a lot less traffic and the canyon has nice old memories.

Either way is pretty stuff.
