APACHE TRAIL INFO
The Apache Trail was designated as Arizona’s first historic highway,
and is an integral part of Arizona Statehood.
It facilitated the construction of the first water project under the Bureau of Reclamation,
and created the path for electricity into the township of Phoenix.
Due to the damage to Fish Creek Hill caused by Tropical Storm Lorena, the Arizona Department of Transportation
indefinitely closed the most scenic section of the Apache Trail.
UPDATES ON THE APACHE TRAIL REOPENING!
The Apache Trail is STILL OPEN past Tortilla Flat to the Fish Creek Hill overlook. It is an amazing scenic spot, worth visiting!
