The historic Apache Trail, northeast of Apache Junction, AZ, winds through some
of the most rugged terrain in Arizona, from the Four Peaks Wilderness Area in the north to
the Superstition Wilderness Area in the south.
The trail includes Lost Dutchman
State Park, Tonto National Forest, Roosevelt Dam, and a ghost town, Goldfield, which is
now a commercialized tourist site reminiscent of an old mining town. Tonto National
Monument is also located near Roosevelt Lake, shown above. There are cliff dwellings
built and occupied by prehistoric Salado people of the 14th century.
