Taste her beauty on our one hour introductory tour and learn about the history of this scenic route. Stop at the Weaver’s Needle vista, an overlook of Canyon Lake, witness the majesty of the Superstition Mountains, and learn about the plants and animals of the area.

Steeply rising to the north is the Four Peaks Wilderness and to the south the Superstition Mountain Range. The steep-sided canyons, rock outcroppings and magnificent geologic formations are especially beautiful in spring and fall. 

Heading down the Apache Trail, you’ll come to the shores of Canyon Lake which twists for 10 miles through a magnificent gorge. It is one of four lakes formed by damming the Salt River, the course of which runs right through Phoenix. Just imagine the difficulties encountered constructing this road to Roosevelt Dam back in the1930’s!

Stretch your legs on a nature walk at the overlook of the famous Fish Creek Canyon. No matter the season, the sheer canyon walls offer a palette of nature’s colors.

The scenery takes on a whole new perspective as you return to Tortilla Flat. This old stagecoach stop built in 1904 was the first of only two stops between Phoenix and Roosevelt Dam. Take a walk along the boardwalk and try a scoop of the town’s famous prickly pear cactus ice cream.

Excitement awaits on Highway 88 – join us today on this breathtaking tour!

At the base of the hill stands the remains of the old Fish Creek Lodge that served as a welcome haven to weary travelers and bridge construction crews. 

Ready for the trip back up that treacherous hill? Be patient as your guide skillfully maneuvers the path with others coming and going.

If you have the time, it’s worth the journey!

A camera is a must! 

Your journey will meander through a scenic masterpiece as your guide weaves the tales of the Trail. From Canyon Lake to Geronimo Head (one of the trail’s most famous landmarks), enjoy breathtaking views that overlook Goat Mountain, the Four Peaks Wilderness, the Superstition Mountains and the Three Bar Wildlife Area.

Perhaps the most awe-inspiring section is Fish Creek Canyon. The road hangs on the side of this high-walled canyon and winds its way along tremendous precipices that sink sheer for hundreds of feet below.

On your way back along your 40 mile journey we’ll stop at Tortilla Flat. Here you can mix the history of this stagecoach stop with a little refreshment in a prickly pear ice cream cone!

Sit back, enjoy and leave the driving to us!

From Goldfield Ghost Town, you wind your way through majestic scenic canyons. Keep a lookout for the bighorn sheep that call this rugged territory their home. 

Marvel at the craftsmanship and construction – what a feat it was to build this dam in the middle of nowhere! After a nature walk at the Dam, get back on board for more stories of legends and lore.

Keep your cameras ready – the guide will be highlighting many more things on the way back that couldn’t be seen from the other direction.

This historic road covers some of the most rugged terrain in Arizona. Partly paved, partly graded dirt, the journey of about 80 miles is filled with spectacular scenery to rival any in the state. You will have magnificent views of twisted igneous mountains, dense forests of saguaro, sparkling blue lakes, and Roosevelt Dam. Be sure to bring your camera! 

Pre-arrange an optional guided hike to a primitive cliff side village.
