Historic Apache Trail
United States · AZ-88
Carved into the Superstition Mountains past Canyon Lake and Tortilla Flat before descending the narrow, unpaved shelf of Fish Creek Hill. A legendary dual-sport and ADV adventure featuring single-lane gravel shelves, volcanic cliff overhangs, and water crossings.
Historic Apache Trail runs 40 miles between Apache Junction, AZ and Roosevelt Dam, AZ. We count about 175 corners along it, which is consistently bendy. Demanding, and not a road to meet in the wet.
