Apache Junction

Apache Junction, set along the western foothills of the Superstition Mountains, is a city whose character is shaped by the dry Sonoran Desert and the range’s abrupt volcanic skyline. East of metropolitan Phoenix, it marks the urban edge before the Tonto National Forest and Superstition Wilderness take over. The Apache Trail, now State Route 88, leads from this area toward Arizona’s mountain country, while Goldfield Ghost Town recalls the region’s mining-era frontier imagery. Nearby Lost Dutchman State Park takes its name from the enduring Lost Dutchman’s Gold Mine legend associated with the mountains.
