Highly Recommend the Apache Trail and Dolly Steamboat Tour!

Just got back from the Apache Trail and Dolly Steamboat tour and wow, what an experience! The 90-minute cruise was awesome, saw eagles and even some longhorn sheep. Tortilla Flat is quirky and cute, just 6 residents! Our guide was super knowledgeable and made the desert plants so interesting. Perfect day trip from Phoenix. Definitely worth it!
