Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Superstition Mountains are a spectacular mountain range east of Phoenix in Arizona. From a distance, the ghostly 2000-foot high red cliffs look forbidding and inhospitable. However, they offer a range of adventures from hiking the challenging but scenic trails through the Superstition Mountain Wilderness Area and searching for the Lost Dutchman’s Goldmine to spotting bobcats, coyotes, black bears or mountain lions in their habitats.
There is also an abandoned ghost town and the museum that tells the story of the Native Americans and white prospectors who came to the mountains in search of gold more than 100 years ago. If you get tired of roughing it, you can stay at the Gold Canyon Golf Resort at the foot of the mountain with the cool pool and cooler Margaritas.
