Apache Trail Reopened

[@raydean9330]

Thanks for letting us join you on another stunning ride

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks Ray. The holidays are going to put a damper on riding but I'll keep 'em coming. 😎👍

Wow!!! There is a marked improvement from the last time we went down Fish Hill!!! We went over boulders, holes in the road, ruts & I told my husband that we were NOT going down that road again!!! I see the washboards are still there!!! Thank you for sharing this updated information on this beautiful lake & setting 👍🙏❤️

[@azdesertdog]

Jill- Sounds like it was quite an adventure! They did a lot of work. I think it will be accessible for more people now.

Nice ride A.D.D., The KTM must treat you well, you've had it for sometime now. Thanks for sharing and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks Henry. I haven't seen anything I would want to replace it with. It was also made in Austria the new bikes are made in several other countries.

Great news. Love camping at Apache lake.

[@azdesertdog]

I was excited. I was thinking they would never reopen it.

[@AZGeek520]

Nice. Very glad to see that reopened -- finally!

[@azdesertdog]

It's nice to be able to make a loop out of Tortilla Flat again.

[@slowhiker4488]

Know what I'm doing Monday, tks for sharing.

[@azdesertdog]

Be safe thanks for checking it out.

I rode this a month or so ago on my Honda NC750X when the washboards hadn't reformed yet! Nice video. Did you notice the natural guard rail formed from boulders from the rockslide near the bottom of the hill? That was my favorite part. Going to wait to put offroad tires on before I ride this again but I'll be back. (On a weekday again when the side-by-sides aren't around.)

It's a great ride I hope to get out and camp up there maybe in the spring.

Good to hear. I used to do that stretch and always loved it. It's been many years.

[@azdesertdog]

I used to do it once a year. Glads it's back in rotation.

[@2wheelvintage361]

Bike seems to absorb the bumps pretty good. Or your image stabilization is great. 😄 Thanks for bringing us along.

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks sir. It's a combination of both 😁. The KTM rides better than the Bonneville or the Scout believe it or not even on the highway.

[@Tankerman]

Who knew you had a sense of humor😂. So you stole the sign😜. One of these days I hope to make a trip out west and visit places like this, mighty fine scenery.

[@Tankerman]

Darn I posted my comment before the free little wheelie part 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@azdesertdog]

Yep. I don't show it much some folks can figure out what's a joke and reality. I hope to see you out here someday.

I am glad its open again its been a while since I was on that road. me it was 17 degrees at the house but I am higher in elevation. stay warm and have a wonderful weekend

[@azdesertdog]

Dang RG that's cold. I was complaining about 36 the other morning 😁

[@roadrash76]

I drove the reopened trail the week after it reopened. I wasn’t expecting to see the new paved sections when I got there.

[@azdesertdog]

I was pretty shocked too. They seemed to keep it to just erosion prone areas.

[@FistsInTheWind]

I'm booked for all of next March at an RV resort in Scottsdale.. after seeing this, the Africa Twin will be coming with me!

[@azdesertdog]

That's awesome! There is a seemingly limitless amount of dirt to have fun on in AZ. Check out my channel there are a bunch of videos on suggested riding. Be safe take plenty of water.
