Superstition Mountains and Tortilla Flat gallery

Tortilla Flat was a stage coach stop on the Apache Trail over 100 years ago. The current population is 6! Most of the once thriving town was destroyed by a flood in 1942. The settlement is situated in a valley along Tortilla Creek surrounded by the mysterious Superstition Mountains (legendary location of the Lost Dutchman mine.) We ate lunch at the Superstition Saloon. People from around the world have autographed dollar bills and left them there to be mounted on the walls. There is reportedly $80,000 (and counting) on the walls. We also visited a restored ghost town. Goldfield was a boom town established in 1890 when gold was discovered here. By 1915 the Blue-bird mine was closed and Goldfield became a ghost town.
