Tortilla Flat
A tiny Western stagecoach town with a single-digit population, famous for its old saloon whose walls are covered in dollar bills and for its prickly pear ice cream.
Tortilla Flat is the last stop on the Apache Trail. It has served workers building Roosevelt Dam since 1904. Today a short street holds an old saloon restaurant, a general store and a small museum. The restaurant's walls and bar are covered with tens of thousands of dollar bills left by visitors. Its signature dishes are chili soup and prickly pear ice cream. It is usually visited together with Canyon Lake, and the drive from the city takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
