The Apache Trail
The shortest route from Tonto National Monument to Phoenix is the 47-mile Apache Trail, with 22 miles of gravel road winding down, up, and around rugged canyons.
This road is suitable for family cars and small recreational vehicles. Since you may have to back up, towing a trailer is not recommended. Bridges and a few other places are not wide enough for two cars to meet.

Did You Know?
Desert coyotes feed on delicacies such as crickets, quail, cactus fruits, rodents, and carrion. Weighing half as much as coyotes elsewhere, they have shorter, thinner, and paler fur which not only blends with the barren landscape, but also helps dissipate heat.
