An Apache Trail Tour is a mandatory experience if you want to make the most out of your trip. There are a variety of narrated jeep tours to choose from, ranging from 60-minutes to eight hours, offered seven days a week. An excellent overview tour takes you into the Superstition Mountains on the Apache Trail, the nation’s oldest highway, with a chain of lakes, scenic vistas, wildlife viewing and the tallest cactus in the world. When it is raining riders are treated to the sight of mountain waterfalls. www.apachetrailtours.com – Renée S. Gordon

“There’s something about a Jeep Tour that makes you want to shout….Yippie-ei-o!” With Apache Trail Tours, trail masters educate people about the vegetation and wildlife in the area and the legends of the Lost Dutchman’s Mine. “On this sunny day, the Tonto National Forest was beautiful and alive. Saguaros, scarred and disfigured, guarded the Sonoran Desert. The red fruits of the desert Christmas cactus, or Oputia leptocaulis, along with clusters of hedgehog cactus and the twisting arms of jumping cholla stood out against the desert scrub.” – Out There by Jaye Beeler

“Apache Trail Jeep Tours, the desert will never seem the same.” “Thousands of visitors come each year to marvel in the magic of the enchanting Superstition Mountains and explore the breathtaking views that abound along the Apache Trail. Maybe it’s because of the beauty, maybe because of the visions of gold, or maybe it’s just the mystic of the mountain that lures folks into its shadow. Whatever the reason might be, Apache Trail Tours is here to provide you with the means to explore this awesome terrain.” – Source: Apache Trail Tours

“Superstitions offer surprises by taking roads less traveled.” “Those looking for a more intimate visit than just driving by the massive mountain range east of Apache Junction on U.S. 60 should consider traveling by dirt roads instead. These roads deposit a serious sightseer as close to the heart of the wilderness as one can get without resorting to hiking or taking horses. Take, for example, the drive to Rogers Trough in the middle of the mountain range. The area doubles as a trailhead for those who like to hoof it on their own, and it makes a perfect day-trip destination for those who want to tour the back country by vehicle.” – Get Out!
