This isn't just a scenic drive through the Arizona desert. It's a journey into the legends, mysteries, and real history of the Wild West.
Discover the story of Jacob Waltz and his legendary lost gold mine, explore a recreated 1890s mining town, and learn how ancient volcanic eruptions created the spectacular Superstition Mountains.
Your GPS-guided audio tour automatically shares stories as you drive, helping you discover scenic viewpoints, hidden gems, and fascinating places you might otherwise miss.
Unlike traditional guided tours, you're free to stop whenever you like. Hike a desert trail, explore Goldfield Ghost Town, enjoy a boat cruise on Canyon Lake, or grab a prickly pear treat in Tortilla Flat.
It's the freedom of an independent road trip with the storytelling of a personal guide.
