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.

They had pyrotechnics at RIAT. The Apache 'engaged' some enemy in the crowd and two huge explosions went off creating a huge big black cloud. The boom was big enough to make me jump, unfortunately causing me a degree of camera shake (well, that's my story)

Not sure if the neon sign still works... would be nice to see at night time.

Orginally shot at the Darling Buds car show this year was this unusual and I would think quite rare late 50's Chevrolet Apache 32 Fleetside.

yeah, I finally took the time to find out how to stop Flickrs auto tags. I know it's a plant. No it's not an animal.

One of the four lakes/reservoirs along the Salt River and part of the Tonto National Forest Recreation Area.
I built these ( with a number of other great builders) as part of the full collection of Batman series two collectible minifigures for Brick Fanatics. You can check out the full collection here: www.brickfanatics.co.uk/tag/71020-the-lego-batman-movie-s...
I was so excited to finally come across this beetle again on Mt Lemmon. I had briefly seen one years ago along the Green Mountain Trail but it flew away before I had a chance to capture an image. Supposedly they can right themselves with a click. I didn't try to make that happen but it sure would be interesting to see.
