A Highway Patrol officer I talked to this last week said there are no plans at all to reopen Apache Trail from Fishcreek observation point to Apache Lake. We tried to drive up to the observation point Monday, but it was closed about a mile away, as they were filming a Mt Dew commercial with motocross bikes. He said the erosion damage is too bad, and there is not enough money. I told him they should let the citizens take care of it. There would be at least an OHV path within a week. Unbelievable that they built it by hand and with mules, but they can't fix it now with all our modern machinery.That sucks about Four peaks. That road from the west side up and over was a really cool ride on the S10.
Hopefully it will eventually reopen, as well as Apache Trail past the Fish Creek area.
I agree!A Highway Patrol officer I talked to this last week said there are no plans at all to reopen Apache Trail from Fishcreek observation point to Apache Lake.

No mud at all this year!Yup, one of my favorites. The ride (AZ288), the view, the big mud hole getting there, all good.
Love the rock formations.These last shots are obligatory for GV550. He knows the spot.

So 88 is closed between Apache Lake and Tortilla Flats? You came down 88 from Roosevelt Lake?Rode to the eastern closure of Apache Trail, Az 88. Closed at Apache Lake. They do have some activity down by the lake. There was a bike/pedestrian gate open at the closure. Almost kept going but then I thought "What if the come by, close it, and lock it?" I would not be able to ride around the gate.

Closed between Fish Creek Vista and Apache Lake. You can get from Tortilla Flat up to Fish Creek Vista, which was closed for a while after the Woodbury fire. I need to get up there and hike down to the bridge to see how bad it is. Yes, went in from Roosevelt.So 88 is closed between Apache Lake and Tortilla Flats? You came down 88 from Roosevelt Lake?

Wow, wish I could join you guys.Workman creek up to Aztec Peak. Normally this ride would be with GV550. Solo today. The last couple years, we've turned around just past the water fall due to ice and snow. Open all the way to the top this year. Just one streach of snow/ice close to the top on the north side. What a view from the top!
