Postcard from Phoenix, Arizona – The Apache Trail

The Apache Trail starts in appropriately named Apache Junction, with a few tourist trap kind of fun spots based on old mining towns like the Goldfield Ghost Town (fun for families although you might lose a lot of money on $12 trail rides, shooting gallery, old time photos, zip lines, mine tours, food and gifts) , Superstition Mountain Museum and then heads into the Superstition Mountains following an old stagecoach route to Tortilla Flats, a former way station for workers building a stone dam called Roosevelt Dam.
