Tonto National Forest - Tortilla Flat Area
After a stop in Gilbert for lunch with the fabulous Margaret, Jon and baby Stuart, we headed up the scenic Route 88 toward Tortilla Flat. We camped for free in the Tonto National Forest and enjoyed the peaceful quiet of the mountain desert.
Superstition Mountain
Starting up Route 88
Canyon Lake
Free camping, with cactus
Our morning drive took us through thousands of gorgeous blooming wildflowers and cacti.
The Fish Creek Overlook provides a resting stop, bathrooms and short trail to enjoy the stunning views.
The road is unpaved, windy, narrow and rough a few miles north of Tortilla Flat until the Roosevelt Dam but the beautiful terrain is well worth the effort, especially in the throes of springtime!
