Apache Trail Scenic Drive

When Is the Best Time to Drive Apache Trail

When is the best time to go on the Apache Trail Scenic Drive? Springtime is beautiful, especially if wildflowers are in bloom. When it starts to get hot, this can be a nice day trip, if your car's air-conditioning is working well. Your stops to get out of the car will just be shorter. The down side to taking the Apache Trail in the summer is lake traffic, camping traffic, and the possibility of breaking down in the Arizona heat. As I said before, make sure you have plenty of water with you.

Apache Trail Tip #8
It may seem a little late to mention this, but your car should be in good working order before taking this trip. This is not an area in which you want to break down. There are also restrictions on size and weight of vehicles on the Apache Trail. It is not recommend for RVs.
