  • Apache Trail Scenic Drive, Arizona, United States
    Only minutes from the city, the Apache Trail is the perfect way to experience the beauty of the Sonoran desert. Arizona’s first designated “Historic Highway” and a scenic byway, the original Apache Trail was a footpath by which the local Apache Tribe traveled through the Superstition Mountains.
    120 minutes
  • Superstition Mountains, Arizona, United States
    View these stunning desert mountains as you drive along the Apache Trail
  • Canyon Lake, Tortilla Flat, Arizona, United States
    During your tour along the Apache Trail, you will also be treated to a steamboat cruise on Canyon Lake by the famous Dolly Steamboat.
    120 minutes
  • 16802 AZ-88, Apache Junction, AZ 85119, USA
    As part of the six mile narrated nature cruise, there may be opportunities to see bighorn sheep, bald eagles, and a host of other desert animals as well as unforgettable views of 1,300 ft. volcanic cliff walls of Canyon Lake.
    60 minutes
  • Lost Dutchman State Park, Apache Junction, Arizona, United States
    Tortilla Flat has become a fixture of the Apache Trail since its inception in 1904. Not fire, drought, or bandits could destroy this hearty stage stop which holds onto its rich tradition through its architecture and unique decorating sense. If you get too warm, you can quite literally “saddle up” to the bar and enjoy a cold beverage to cool you down. This rugged landscape in the Sonoran Desert has been the jewel that some men were looking for with the most famous involving the Lost Dutchman Mine. Rumored to have found the largest gold vein in the west, German immigrant Jacob Waltz trusted his newly found gold deposit to no one and the secret of its location was buried with him. If you have the “golden eye” maybe you can spot it while on tour!
  • Tortilla Flat, Tortilla Flat, Arizona, United States
    Two of the more colorful stops along the Apache Trail are Goldfield Ghost Town and Tortilla Flat.
    30 minutes
  • Goldfield Ghost Town, Apache Junction, Arizona, United States
    Goldfield, aptly named after the precious metal found in the area, was incorporated in 1892. For five long years this town was a gold miner’s paradise, however, soon after the vein stopped producing Goldfield quickly turned into a gold mining ghost town. During the tour you will have a chance to spend time in this restored ghost town practicing your gold panning techniques, marveling at the original mining gear, or even spending some time at Lu Lu’s Bordello if you dare.

It was an amazing tour. I got to see so much of the Sonoran desert! The one thing I wish was that the description was more specific on the type of tour (walking or driving) it was going to be. It was a great mmix of activities and you truly get to see a lot of the Apache Trail. LOVED IT and highly recommend it!

Diane was a great tour. Very knowledgeable and personable. Trip was fun. It was a step back in time. Tortilla Flat was a favorite. Very off the wall place. Very fun. The boat ride was relax and scenic. We would recommend the tour!
