Tortilla Flat

Tortilla Flat is a tiny unincorporated community of about six permanent residents on the Apache Trail (SR-88), 18 miles northeast of Apache Junction. The last surviving stagecoach stop on the historic trail, today it consists of a saloon, restaurant, gift shop, and ice cream parlor crammed into a handful of historic buildings. The Superstition Saloon — its walls plastered floor-to-ceiling with signed dollar bills — serves burgers, chili, and cold beer to riders who've just navigated the paved stretch of the Apache Trail past Canyon Lake. It's the turn-around point for most bikes, as the road beyond becomes unpaved dirt.
