• APACHE TRAIL 2017

    I loved this place.  It was one of my favorites during my trip to Arizona.  The Apache Trail was named this by the Apache Indians as they used the trail to get through the Superstition Mountains.  Part of the trail is paved and part is dirt.  Some of the trail has only a single lane and is very scary on curves and bridges.  The scenery through the APACHE TRAIL is incredible so have your camera ready.
