Historical Note

The Apache Trail is a roadway linking the greater Phoenix area with Theodore Roosevelt Lake passing through the Superstition Mountains and the Tonto National Forest in central Arizona. Formerly called the Mesa-Roosevelt Road, it was renamed about 1915 by a Southern Pacific Railroad employee who wanted to promote one of the railroad’s scenic side trips. The trip was an option for its transcontinental passengers.
