Feb 25 Apache Trail - Apache Junction Arizona

Weather: 82 Sunny and about 60 at night perfect for sleeping.

Took a Sunday afternoon ride to Apache Trail which is east of Phoenix into the Superstition Mountains.  Winding, twisting mountain roads that end up in Canyon Lake (man made from a dam) so bizarre when you come across it.  Beautiful.   I think every biker was out there that day!   Then there were more roads down and around to a valley called Tortilla Flats.   In the turn of the century, 1904 it was a Stage Coach stop.  I can imagine they would want a stiff drink when they stopped!!!!

There is a landmark area called Apache Leap where instead of being taken by the US Cavalry the Apache Indians leapt to their death.
