I'm trying to place this picture my granddad took on his cross country trip in 1922. I think it is either in the Denver area or in the Devils Canyon area of Arizona.

I've built a website that contains the journal, pictures and maps plus extra history and pictures from his trip. That site is http://www.1922coast2coast.com. I'm trying to figure out as many of his pictures as possible.

I don't think that looks like Colorado, but it could certainly be Arizona. I suggest further pursuit of your Devils Canyon theory.
My guess is old US 60 in Gila County over the Pinto Wash?

I agree with Andy3175, it looks like the canyon just before the Queen Creek Tunnel east of Superior,AZ.
well I found the bridge( see previous posts) but I know nothing about it and can't find it on google.
it is Meyer Canyon - Shepherds Bridge

Does anyone have any information on this bridge
This is about 12 miles east of me. From what I understand, it was finally destroyed during hurricane Agnes in 1972. At least that's what the locals claim, though I can't see how an East Coast storm could effect this area. It was very close to the location of today's desert view tower in In-Ko-Pa and carried an early incarnation of US 80.
Here is the Google map link for the area, you will see at least 2 former highway routings through the area.

Looks to be a concrete arch.

It was hurricane Kathleen in 1976 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Kathleen_(1976). Destroyed a section of I-8 including the bridge.
