 Directions

This site is 13.5 miles northeast of Apache Junction on Arizona State Hwy. 88 (historic Apache Trail). From Mesa, take US Highway 60 to the Idaho Road exit and go north to State Hwy. 88 and turn right. After crossing the first bridge at the lake, watch for the entrance on the left. Turn left into the site. The entire route is paved, and has narrow, sharp curves; heavy traffic.
