Description

Spring on the Apache Trail, or in the desert for that matter, has its own unique beauty. This photo was taken in early spring, just as the Superstition Mountains were sporting fresh color. In this photograph a spring rain storm has just passed, leaving the colors of the desert even richer and more vibrant than they were before!
The Apache Trail in Arizona 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. The Trail winds steeply through 40 miles of extremely 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; there are steep cliff drops and little in the way of safety barriers. It isn￿t for the faint of heart! I suggest that you stop for a breather and refreshments at the Superstition Saloon, because from there on if it weren￿t for the ever changing vista, you would wish you were safely on black top once again!
