Review & FAQ:
Located east of Phoenix, the Superstition Mountains are the best-known mountain range in the state. Many different pieces of folklore surround the rugged mountains, including the legend of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine; visitors can learn more about these tales at the Superstition Mountain Museum on the Apache Trail. The highest peak here is the 5,057-foot Superstition Peak (Video), but other worthwhile destinations include the hiking trail that leads from Peralta Canyon to Fremont Saddle, Miner's Needle, and the well-known landmark known as Weavers Needle. The temperatures during the summers are extremely hot, so the best time to visit is from October through March.
