Explore the Desert on the Apache Trail

If you feel like getting out of the city, I found just the place – the Apache Trail! Travel just 30 miles to the east and you will find yourself in the fifth-largest national forest in the country, the Tonto National Forest. Although it boasts 5.8 million visitors, I hardly encountered another person.

I stopped at Superstition Mountain, which had great trails and photo opportunities. The old Goldfield ghost town just down the road is also worth seeing. Another mile will take you to the Lost Dutchman State Park. Don’t miss Canyon Lake (beautiful!) and have a bite to eat at Tortilla Flats.

The drive is an adventure and part of it is gravel. I decided my little convertible didn’t need to go off-roading so I turned around at this point. The ride back was even more scenic. I just kept thinking, “Wow, Arizona is breathtaking!”

Indiana was my home state, but Arizona won my heart! After hiking the Grand Canyon and visiting Sedona one spring break, there was no going back. I moved to Prescott with three teenagers 16 years ago, and now I live in the Valley. I love living in a vacation destination…every day is an adventure! I enjoy the outdoors, great restaurants, and traveling, but most of all spending time with family and friends. I look forward to continuing to share what made me fall in love with Arizona with all of you.
