Far east of Phoenix is the sleepy little town of Apache Junction, and east of there we found Lost Dutchman State Park. Here at the base of the Superstition Mountains, we found some beautiful scenery as we hiked the the park. Our hiking was limited due to the heat (90s) but it still was a worthwhile trip. The name, Lost Dutchman, refers to a legendary gold mine here. There actually was a gold mine across the street and today is within the Goldfield Ghost Town, a tourist attraction and fun place to visit. Take a train tour around the site, tour the mine itself, and stop in the saloon for a cold one.
