Day 1
Apache Trail Adventure Tour
Upon departure from your hotel at 9 am, we will travel into the heart of the Superstition Mountain Range and along the Apache Trail. Our first stop will be the old gold mining ghost town of Goldfield, located at the base of the neighboring Superstition Mountain range. Here we will give you 45 minutes to check out the old west shops and see how it was in the old west. Soon after, we will hit the Apache Trail and let you take in the amazing and eye dazzling views of the Superstitions and the Sonoran Desert along the trail. We will soon reach Canyon Lake, here you are slated for a 90-minute sightseeing journey on an old-fashioned stern wheeler steamboat across the lake. Upon return to the shore, we will take you down the road to one of the oldest stage coach stops in the Southwest and the site of where a lot of gold was mined in the late 1800s. This place is Tortilla Flat. It is a general store owned by the same family for generations and a good spot to enjoy local novelties and lunch as well. After our stop here we will take you back to your hotel with an expected return around 5pm. A licensed tour guide will be with you along the way, showing you the ropes and providing useful narration. The steamboat ticket is included in pricing. We will pick you up and drop you off at your hotel of choice.
