Arizona State Route 74
State Route 74 (SR 74) is a state highway in central Arizona that stretches east to west from its junction with U.S. Route 60 (US 60) just south of Wickenburg to just one quarter mile (0.4 km) past its junction with Interstate 17 (I-17) at North Valley Parkway in North Phoenix. It serves Lake Pleasant Regional Park and serves as a northern bypass around the often congested stretches of US 60 through the northwest suburbs of the Phoenix Metropolitan area. From end to end, it is 31 miles (50 km) long.
Carefree Highway/SR 74 is also the inspiration for a Gordon Lightfoot song of the same name.

Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
