DAY TRIP | CANYON LAKE & TORTILLA FLAT, ARIZONA | WITH MUDNUT59 (2019)
#corkboardtv #tortillaflat #canyonlake
Hello my peeps!
Mudnut59 and I took a day trip up to Canyon Lake and Tortilla Flat in Arizona. There were plenty of things to see and the views were spectacular! Join us on this little adventure and see for yourself what I am taking about.
From Wikipedia on Tortilla Flat...
Tortilla Flat is a small unincorporated community in far eastern Maricopa County, Arizona, United States. It is located in the central part of the state, northeast of Apache Junction. It is the last surviving stagecoach stop along the Apache Trail. According to the Gross Management Department of Arizona's main U.S. Post Office in Phoenix, Tortilla Flat is presumed to be Arizona's smallest official community having a U.S. Post Office and voter's precinct. The town has a population of 6. Tortilla Flat can be reached by vehicles on State Route 88, via Apache Junction.
Originally a camping ground for the prospectors who searched for gold in the Superstition Mountains in the mid-to-late 19th century, Tortilla Flat was later a freight camp for the construction of Theodore Roosevelt Dam. From this time (1904) on, Tortilla Flat has had a small (less than 100 people) but continuous population. A flood in 1942 badly damaged the town, resulting in many residents moving away. Today Tortilla Flat is owned and operated by Alvin Ross, a farmer from Indiana who purchased the town in 1998. The town is made up primarily of a small store and restaurant, which were constructed in the late 1980s after a fire consumed the existing store and restaurant on the same site. Several hiking trails into the Superstition Mountains begin near Tortilla Flat.
Give this a THUMPS UP and let me know what YOU think in the comments below.
Until I see you again...
Cheers,
Scott

AZ Drive, Apache Trail: Canyon Lk & Tortilla Flat
iPad movie! Canyon Lake is a reservoir that was created by the damming of the Salt River. It is located up the Apache Trail, within the Superstition Wilderness. This route also passes through Tortilla Flat, Arizona, the smallest community in the state, population: 6!
Apache Trail Damage (Drone Footage)
Very sad news that large sections of the off-road portion of the historic Apache Trail are destroyed and currently closed. There is no estimated time to reopen the route.
The extensive damage was caused by flooding along large stretches of the trail near the burn scar areas left by the Woodbury Fire that had scorched the Superstition Mountains and wilderness region this summer. Sad to see continued damage being done to the region caused by negligent people who started the fire that consumed many thousands of acres.
Huge sections of the off-road portion of the Apache Trail from Tortilla Flat going down towards Apache Lake have collapsed where massive boulders, rocks, mud, and debris have been washed down the mountainside onto the road making it impossible to drive safely. Very Sad!
This was such a beautiful drive. We hope ADOT will not take too long to repair the damage to this great historic and scenic trail.

A small review of the resort and lake
Canyon Lake Az
Canyon Lake is one of four reservoirs that were formed by the damming of the Salt River in the U.S. state of Arizona.
The lake was formed by the Mormon Flat Dam, which was completed in 1925 after two years of construction. Canyon Lake, with a surface area of 950 acres (380 ha), is the third and smallest of four lakes created along the Salt River. Two others, Apache Lake and Roosevelt Lake, are upstream. The fourth, Saguaro Lake, is downstream.
Canyon Lake lies approximately 15 miles (24 km) up the Apache Trail from Apache Junction, Arizona and 51 miles (82 km) east of Phoenix. It is within the Superstition Wilderness of Tonto National Forest and is a popular recreation area for the Phoenix metropolitan area. Recreation amenities include hiking trails, camping, and boating, all managed by the United States Forest Service. Canyon Lake is a popular stop along the Apache Trail route from Apache Junction, Arizona, passing Tortilla Flat, Arizona, before reaching Apache Lake and Roosevelt Lake behind Theodore Roosevelt Dam.
Apache Trail to Tortilla Flat Arizona State Route 88
Apache Trail to Tortilla Flat Arizona State Route 88. One of the best roads in Arizona to drive your car on especially if it's a Porsche is State Route 88. SR88 starts out on Idaho Rd in Apache Junction, and snakes it's way past Tortilla Flat, Canyon Lake and then to a dirt road which leads to Rosevelt Lake.
When I want to feel how life would have been back in the late 1960's here in Arizona, I will bring out my classic 1967 Porsche 912 with it's 2.0 liter Type 4 air cooled motor (which came from a 1976 Porsche 912E) with dual Weber carbs. The windows down, the sound of that air cooled motor, the view out the windows, and the feeling thru the racing H 5 speed, and wooden steering wheel, takes me back to a much simpler time in life.
Winter Motorcycle Adventure (Apache Lake)
A two night camping trip to Apache Lake, in December. Yes Arizona in winter is a great place to go camping. Temperatures are mild, and the scenery is spectacular.

The top of the Superstition Mountains Flatiron. A massive rock resembling an upside-down clothes iron offers some of the most spectacular views in the Phoenix metro area.

Tortilla Flat - Best Old West Attraction - Arizona 2019
Tortilla Flat is an authentic remnant of an old west town, nestled in the midst of the Tonto National Forest, in the Superstition Mountain Range. Tortilla Flat started out as a stagecoach stop in 1904 and neither fire nor flood has been able to take away this historic stop along the Historic Apache Trail.
Video RideAlong: Apache Trail past Tortilla Flat Part 1: on the way up
From Lost Dutchman (Brown road) and Apache Trail (SR88) to the end of the pavement 8 miles past Tortilla Flat
If you are short on patience, I suggest watching part 2 (coming back down). It gets twisty right away and the scenery is nicer IMO.
Shot with a G12 so audio is pretty noisy. Turn the volume down and put a good record on.
The Crazy Scary Drive Down Fish Hill Creek Hwy 88 Arizona
Driving from Tortilla Flats to Globe via the VERY SCENIC (i.e. dirt, washboard roads, blind corners and steep drop offs) route. Only the very brave make this drive. Be prepared to go slow, beep around corners, and have nerves of steel. Scary but completely worth it for the views.
