The Apache Trail
by Tom Kollenborn
Traveling the Apache
Trail is a unique experience. Portions of the old
wagon road are preserved to this day. Tourists have
been traveling this old road since 1906. They have
been enjoying one of the most beautiful desert
roadways in America. The Apache Trail is a highway
to adventure, beauty and history. President Theodore
Roosevelt wrapped up, in one statement, what the
Apache Trail was all about.
"The Apache Trail
combines the grandeur of the Alps, the glory of the
Rockies, the magnificence of the Grand Canyon and
then adds an indefinable something that none of the
others have, to me, it is most awe-inspiring and
most sublimely beautiful." |
