May the sun bring you new energy by day.
May the moon softly restore you by night.
May the rain wash away your worries.
May the breeze blow new strength into your being.
May you walk gently through the world
and know its beauty all the days of your life.
Apache blessing
I first visited Apache Canyon in 2004, when I was 11. My uncle who lived nearby took my to see it when he found out I liked trains. It's a favorite spot, and one I visit whenever I can. This is westbound Southwest Chief in 2013.

A ranch In Lillooet BC irrigating water from the Fraser river to grow hay, probably their third crop...heading there for Easter with this blessing in mind. May the Sun bring you new energy by day. May the Moon softly restore you by night. May the Rain wash away your worries. May the Breeze blow new strength into your being. May you walk gently through the world and know its beauty all the days of your life. —Apache Blessing

The Apache Trail in Arizona was a stagecoach trail that ran through the Superstition Mountains. It was named the Apache Trail after the Apache Indians who originally used this trail to move through the Superstition Mountains.

"Your range of available choices - right now - is limitless." ~ Frederick C. Frieseke
The Apache Trail twists and turns through contorted canyons and desert saguaro forests. The road is unpaved for the twenty miles between Tortilla Flat and Roosevelt Dam, including the adventurous and gut wrenching drop down Fish Creek Hill. The road drops approximately 900 feet in a mile into Fish Creek Canyon, which is pictured here from the scenic turnaround point. Definitely not for the faint of heart....but certainly worth the nail biting blind turns to enjoy these views.
Have a great Wednesday....and thanks for all your visits & support!!!!

The Apache Trail in Arizona was a stagecoach trail that ran through the Superstition Mountains. It was named the Apache Trail after the Apache Indians who originally used this trail to move through the Superstition Mountains.
The current Apache Trail links Apache Junction (33.4152°N 111.5807°W) at the edge of the Greater Phoenix area with Theodore Roosevelt Lake (33.6725°N 111.1531°W), through the Superstition Mountains and the Tonto National Forest.
Today, the majority of Apache Trail remains unpaved, turning into a dirt road a few miles up from Tortilla Flat, and continuing as such for nearly the full remainder of its length. The section east of Apache Junction is known officially as State Route 88. It is also the main traffic corridor through Apache Junction, turning into Main Street as the road passes into Mesa, and regains the Apache name by becoming Apache Boulevard in Tempe, ending at Mill Avenue. Prior to the completion of the Superstition Freeway in 1992, the Apache Junction portion of the Apache Trail was part of US Highway 60, which was rerouted to the Superstition Freeway once it was completed.
The Trail winds steeply through 40 miles (64 km) of rugged desert mountains, past deep reservoir lakes like Canyon Lake and Apache Lake. The narrow, winding road is unpaved from just east of the town of Tortilla Flat to Roosevelt Dam; there are steep cliff drops and little in the way of safety barriers. The trail requires caution when driving and it is not recommended for large RVs, SUVs, or caravans. Some large RV rental companies in the US do not allow their vehicles to be taken on this route.

Die Apache Trail Historic Road, auch AZ 88 genannt, östlich von Phoenix rühmt sich großer historischer, kultureller und landschaftlicher Bedeutung. Sie führt über 116 Kilometer von Apache Junction nach Globe-Miami, wo sich die 63 Kilometer lange Gila-Pinal Scenic Road direkt anschließt, die zurück nach Phoenix führt.
Zwischen Apache Junction und dem Tonto National Monument gehört der Apache Trail zu den landschaftlich reizvollsten Routen in den USA. Die abenteuerliche Fahrt ist ein unvergessliches Western-Erlebnis. Theodore Roosevelt sagte bei der Einweihung des nach ihm benannten Staudamms sinngemäß: „Im Apache Trail treffen das Großartige der Alpen, die Pracht der Rocky Mountains und die Herrlichkeit des Grand Canyons zusammen.“
Der Apache Trail folgt einem alten Pfad der Apachen durch die Felsschluchten des Salt River, führt jedoch an der Canyon-Seite höher hinauf, weil der Canyon jetzt teilweise in den Fluten des Salt Rivers und den sich anschließend bildenden Seen ertrunken ist. Kurz nach 1900 wurde er als Versorgungsstraße für den Bau des Theodore-Roosevelt-Damms angelegt. Heute führt er an einer Reihe attraktiver State Parks und kleiner Orte entlang und gewährt Zugang zu den schönen Superstition Mountains.
