There are so many different ways to experience Arizona’s Superstition Mountains: hiking, biking, scenic drives, and… zip lining? That’s right – among Goldfield Ghost Town’s seemingly endless array of family-friendly tourist attractions is a roller coaster-like zipline that takes passengers soaring high above our beloved desert landscape. The best part? You’re seated the entire time, so just sit back and enjoy the scenery without worrying about grabbing onto anything.
Nestled between the Superstition and Goldfield Mountains, this historic settlement used to be a successful mining town.
No reservations are required during business hours; however, you will need to book a spot for sunset and night rides. The current rate is $12 a person.
Check out the absolutely unreal view you'll enjoy during the flight. Puffy summertime clouds, mountain silhouettes, and towering Saguaros all compete with one another for your undivided attention.
Address: 4650 North Mammoth Mine Road, Apache Junction, AZ 85119
Hours: Monday - Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday - Sunday for 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
