You have to drive through beautiful scenic views with twists and turns to get to us. The town is only 18 miles northeast of Apache Junction and is a must-see destination for anyone interested in history or visiting the area. Part of that reopened not long after the closure but a 9-mile, unpaved portion just east of Tortilla Flat extending to an area just west of the Apache Lake Marina had remained closed where the road becomes unpaved, ADOT said. Motorists still had access to Apache Lake via SR 188 connecting to SR 88 at Roosevelt Lake. Established in 1904, Tortilla Flat was the freight stop for all the supplies transported to and from the Roosevelt Dam. The fire, which started in late June in the Superstition Wilderness north of Superior, burned more than 100,000 acres in the Tonto National Forest and forced a closure along SR 88. The last stretch of State Route 88, also known as Apache Trail, that was forced to close because of the Woodbury Fire has reopened, the Arizona Department of Transportation said Friday.
