The most iconic highway in Arizona, the Apache Trail, is currently closed between Fish Creek Hill and Apache Lake Marina. We need your help reopening it!
In 2019, the 123,832 acre Woodbury Fire burned the Superstition Mountains. Starting at the Woodbury trailhead in the Superstition Mountains, the Fire burned its way through the entire Superstition Wilderness. The Apache Trail was used as a firebreak to prevent the fire from moving north.
On September 23, 2019, Tropical Storm Lorena damaged the Apache Trail. The once-in-a-lifetime storm dumped 6 inches of water in a matter of hours. Several culverts washed out and boulders pummeled Fish Creek Hill, the most scenic section of the Apache Trail.
ADOT indefinitely closed the most scenic part of the Apache Trail. Due to the damage to Fish Creek Hill caused by Tropical Storm Lorena, the Arizona Department of Transportation indefinitely closed the most scenic section of the Apache Trail.
The road is now blocked by a large locked metal gate.
Fish Creek Hill was not damaged by The Woodbury Fire. ADOT continues to falsely claim the rockfall on Fish Creek Hill was caused by the Woodbury Fire. However, examining the official data shows the fire did not impact Fish Creek Hill.

Improvements to the eastern section of the Apache Trail do not include Fish Creek Hill. Central Federal Lands has funded a project to upgrade and make improvements to the Apache Trail between Roosevelt Dam and Apache Lake in 2022. However, these improvements DO NOT include the rockfall on Fish Creek Hill and will not restore motorized travel through the closed 7 mile section of the Apache Trail.
Please take action now!
With your help, we can re-open the entire Apache Trail! We have made significant gains with local political leaders but we need your help! We need to ensure this historical treasure stays open for all.
Please tell our political representatives to repair and reopen the Apache Trail. We have made it easy to send an email to Arizona Governor Doug Ducey. Please use the form below to send our pre written email to the governor.
