Ever wondered how Apache Junction got its name? 🌄 It's rooted in history! The city takes its name from the Apache Trail, named after the Apache tribe, that used this route to access the Superstition Mountains. Constructed in 1903, the Apache Trail served as a supply route from Mesa to the then-under-construction Roosevelt Dam. Today, this scenic 40-mile road offers breathtaking views of mountains, saguaro forests, and stunning lakes. 🛣️ An 18-mile paved route from Apache Junction to Tortilla Flat and a dirt road for several miles further is open to vehicles. Take a journey through time and nature on this iconic trail! 🚗 #ApacheJunctionHistory #ScenicRoute #ExploreAJ
