Apache lake
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.

N.B. There's approximately 400m of split-rail fencing along the eastern side and 300m of pylons on the western side.
The Langford Housing Development contained within the area bounded by Humpback Road, Irwin and Constellation roods is sporting some new trail connections and the opening of new roadways.
Humpback Road section between Irwin Rd and the E&N railway tracks has 700 metres of new dedicated cycling lanes.
Approximately 400m is protected by a split-rail fence and the remaining 300m is separated with vertical pylons
First attempt at doing light trails. On the overpass in Logan, Ohio. 3 separate exposures blended together.

Taken out in the Anza Borrego desert in Borrego Springs, CA. This is one of a multiple of these type of sculptures created by 'Perris Jurassic Park' owner/artist/welder Ricardo Breceda. I used a flashlight to paint the scorpion. This was my second attempt at at making a star trails image.

Katy Trail State Park is built on the former corridor of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas (MKT) Railroad (better known as the Katy). When the railroad decided to cease operation on its route from Machens in St. Charles County to Sedalia in Pettis County in 1986, it presented the chance to create an extraordinary recreational opportunity -- a long-distance hiking and bicycling trail that would run almost 200 miles across the state.
This was my first 20 mile bicycle ride. I was working too hard to take many photos. :-)

Seems like an easy trail.... which essentially it is, but when you have all these leaves layering over one another, the slope becomes quite slippery. Thank God for trekking poles!
Gracie and Benni have had a hard time trying to get together during the recent heat wave. Yesterday they ran on the field and wrestled and chased until they were tired enough for a trail walk. And this photo.
Gracie will be 2 in Dec. and has become Benni's most loved friend. Both are being good girls and looking at their moms.
We headed up to Flagstaff for a short trip -- just two days. The trees up north were changing colours, and we seemed to get there at the right time!
This is my first Flickr upload with my new camera. I absolutely love the Fuji. The sharpness is ridiculous, and the colors are basically everything I expected from a company who used to manufacture some of the top films of the day.
The trail was great. We went just over seven miles, and it was quite a nice path. It didn't ascend or descend too much, and I guess I learned that a hike can be great even if you aren't summiting a mountain or anything. :)
Hope you guys like it!
I usually try and get a self-portrait out for #SelfieSunday, but somewhere among those good intentions, I passed right out. I woke up on my couch at 11:45pm last night, thoroughly confused and severely annoyed.
I got back on Saturday after an amazing month away. I've pretty much been overseas for the last eight weeks (minus a week in Vancouver) between Vietnam and Africa. Craziness. So thankful for all the travel opportunity that I have already had, as well as future explorations I know are forthcoming.
I've said it 100x, and the dead horse floggings will continue, but I love Africa. It's such an unbelievable place in so many ways. The heat, the culture, the people, the wildlife, the night skies, the busy busy followed by the pure silence.
I took this photo on December 26th, after we arrived back at the lodge from our sunset drive. The lodge is on the right side maybe 100 yards away. On Christmas Day, it was a full moon, and the moon rose HUGE in the sky illuminating the savannah. The following night, it rose a little later, and I was able to get a star trail. The light from the moonrise can be seen on the left side of the frame, just before I ended the trail to avoid excess light pollution.
The Botkin Trail in the Yalta Nature Reserve is one of the most famous hiking trails in the Crimean Mountains. Its length from Kirov Street to the top of Stavri-Kay aMount is 4.5 kilometers.
The Botkin Trail route was created in 1901 for tuberculosis patients. They could take wellness walks here, so it is also called the "Health Trail". In these places, the phytoncides of the coniferous forest are mixed with the sea breeze, which creates a positive effect for the treatment of lung diseases.
Professor Sergey Botkin was one of the most famous physicians in Russia in the second half of the 19th century. He received the title of academician and the position of physician of the royal family. Since 1870, he has been studying the climate of the Southern coast of Crimea and made a huge contribution to the popularization of recreation and the development of sanatoriums in the Crimea. He was the first to note the healing properties of the air on the Southern coast of Crimea for the treatment of lung diseases.
Боткинская тропа проложена по левому берегу реки Учан-Су. Начинаясь у Поляны сказок, она завершается у скалы Ставри-Кая. Правда, завершается условно, поскольку сразу переходит в Штангеевскую тропу, которая заканчивается у водопада Учан-Су. Нередко две тропы объединяют в один маршрут. Это логично, поскольку в противном случае от скалы Ставри-Кая придется возвращаться обратно по уже пройденному пути. Если же идти до водопада, получится круизный маршрут.
Тропу оборудовали в 1901-1902 году силами Крымско-Кавказского горного клуба. В то время активно действовало ее ялтинское отделение. Назвать решили в честь доктора Боткина. Он хоть и жил в Москве, но активно участвовал в исследовании роли Южного берега Крыма как курортологического направления. Получив звание академика, он стал лейб-медиком царской семьи и много времени проводил вместе с ней в Ливадийском дворце.
