In 2019, the Woodbury fire burned much of the Superstition Mountains, and then on September 23, 2019, Tropical Storm Lorena dumped 6 inches of rain on the area in a matter of hours. This caused flooding and washed out culverts and exposed boulders on a section of the Apache Trail at Fish Creek hill. The Arizona Department of Transportation closed this most scenic section of the Trail and after 5 long years it was finally reopened.
There are a number of tours, restaurants and activities that offer visitors fun ways to explore this beautiful Arizona highway.
The Apache Trail 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.
Today, much of the Apache Trail is paved, and the section east of Apache Junction is known officially as State Route 88.
This scenic Trail rail winds steeply through 40 miles 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.
