Lost Dutchman road?

The Apache Trail is paved all the way to Tortilla Flats... After that it becomes a narrow dirt road with winding hills and curves... Not good for camper at all... Fish Creek canyon shows vehicles at the bottom of it that ran off the winding mtn trail above it...

I always hated the water run off ruts on the dirt road... Would make my ole Jeep start dribbling and heading for the side everytime haha...

Be sure to check out Tortilla Flats Restaurant/Bar. A 'got to see' adventure. haha...

Check out Tortilla Flats AZ on GOOGLE SEARCH - When it loads up select 'IMAGES'

The last time I was there coming back from the Roosevelt Dam and Canyon Lake we made it to the Fish Creek hill and a whole bunch of cars. Some dude tried to drive the Apache Trail with a big bus and got it hung up at the top of Fish Creek on some over-hang rocks. It was wait it out or drive a whole bunch of miles back up to Roosvelt Dam and come back a different route. We pulled off the road at Fish Creek and spent four to five hours watching the wrecker try to get the Bus pulled out from the over hang rocks... Bet they had a big wrecker bill... We was hoping they would just push it over the side...

We had a good time waiting as there was a pretty good bunch of us stranded hanging out having fun...

When the road finally opened back up then we all hit the Tortilla Flats Bar haha

Only takes four to five Brewskis to fall off the real saddle stools they have there at the bar... Think I was sitting on Trigger that night...

Roy, I'm going to have to disagree about the Apache Trail not being good for truck campers. I've driven the trail a half dozen times, 3 with the truck camper, and had no problems. It does get tight going down Fish Creek Hill if you happen to encounter another vehicle going the opposite direction, but there's still plenty of room if you pass in the right spots.

Here are a couple pics of us boondocking along Fish Creek (taken last month).
