Description
Presented in detailed black and white for the discerning collector. 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 isnt 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 werent for the ever changing vista, you would wish you were safely on black top once again!

I am a photographer and visual artist, enjoying the freedom that comes with doing something that I love for a living. Several times a year I leave the studio behind, load the equipment and head out on the open roadcamera in hand and photos in mind. Please enjoy browsing my various galleries of photography and digital art. If you happen to find something that calls to you, then I will have achieved success.

Quite a few years back, my husband and I inadvertently found ourselves crossing this hair raising drive (seems it had a hwy # on the map so we were shocked it was unpaved)! Thanks for the memory with this great image!!

Great use of black and white to remind us of an era marking a distinctive period and the purpose for this trail then!

Love the gritty detail of this black and white Lee. The trail leading us through the landscape is masterfully captured.
