Review:
The Apache Trail preserves the historic 19th-century stagecoach trail of the same name, which meandered for 40 miles throughout Arizona's stunning Superstition Mountain landscape. The trail, which is named in honor of its connection to the area indigenous tribe of the same name, spans the same route as modern-day AZ 88, winding past rugged desert mountain terrain areas past gorgeous natural areas like Canyon and Apache Lakes.
Visitors can drive the historic route today and explore its magnificent scenery at sites such as the Tonto National Forest and Theodore Roosevelt Lake. Unpaved sections can be traversed by four-wheel vehicles, known for their stunning cliff drops between Roosevelt Dam and Tortilla Flat. Along the way, historic sites such as Lost Dutchman State Park and the copper mining towns of Goldfield and Globe make great spots for day trips.
