I went on a tour on Apache Trail this past weekend and it was amazing! We saw some wonderful sites of mountains, cacti and a beautiful lake! This truly felt like the "Southwest".

My favorite part was the ghost town of Goldfield. We were able to pick up some nice southwestern items. They had a place that you could dress in southwestern wear and get your picture taken…I convinced on of my friends to this as a silly memory. We had a blast! The town had many interesting old attractions like an old mill, an old car, different kinds of equipment and variety of other things. We stopped at a saloon for a drink and captured some pictures. There were plenty of interesting things to take pictures of in the town. We even got to go to a reptile museum that had indigenous snakes, lizards, scorpions and spiders. It was quite interesting to be able to see all the animals, but in a safe environment.

We also stopped at a little town with a population of 6 that was an old stage-coach stop. I had an opportunity to have some sarsaparilla. It tasted a lot like root beer, but stronger in flavor and got some Prickly Pear Cactus ice cream; it was quite good!

Another destination on this trip was a beautiful lake called Canyon Lake and on a dirt road that had fantastic scenery! I cannot even describe the beautiful sites we saw on our journey. This day was a full southwest experience!

(I used a tour company called Open Road Tours that I had used before and I have always had good experiences with them!)

Best Tour!

This is the best tour I have ever been on! I found the staff to be helpful and the guides were very informative. I went on a few tours including Sedona and Grand Canyon. The best part was the jeep and helicopter tours! I have the most amazing pictures! All of my hotels that Open Road Tours booked were accessible to restaurants and things to do. They even customized the trip for me. I couldn't have asked for a better trip! If you go to Phoenix and want to tour Arizona look them up: www.openroadtours.com.

We took the flight/van tour package, and it was awesome. It was around $200 but well worth it. They include a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon, along with stopping on the way to or from the canyon and showing you many of the natural rock formations. I saw spectacular views from the helicopter, and then I saw the roadside overlooks, which were gorgeous. I'm not a professional photographer, but I was even amazed at some of the photos I took on the trip. The staff members were funny, pleasant, and very knowledgeable about everything we saw on the way. If you visit the Phoenix area, give these guys a try; they know their stuff.
