The road construction was ridiculous. Again, a majority of the roads I drove on seemed fine to me. Instead of doing construction in a manner that has the least disruption to drivers, they just close down streets and highways with no alternative routes. Just driving through Superior, there were multiple full stops in the middle of the highway due to "construction." When the stop was opened up to allow a few cars to pass, I saw no construction in action, so who knows what was really going on. Additionally, the town area did not look inviting at all. Run down buildings, poor street signage, and it just did not look like a place I'd want to go. Very few familiar businesses. Not a place I'll be returning.

My grandpa lived here when he was a kid for several years in the 1930's/40's and I've been to visit…read moreseveral times in my life. Over the past few years, the town has changed a bit, and I wouldn't be surprised if it continues to add to its unique culture in the next few years as well. It used to feel like it was in the middle of nowhere and really far from Phoenix, but with the expansion of all the cities in between (Gold Canyon, Mesa, Phoenix itself, etc.), it's really a manageable drive out here. There are a lot of cool shops and even bars/restaurants here now and it seems like they are focusing a lot on the art scene which pairs well with the desert. I'm excited to see what happens here in the next decade, I just hope a lot of the history and spirit of the town remains constant. There's a lot of cool history in the town and my grandpa used to go exploring on the mountain to the East, which is what keeps us coming back every few years.

Views are phenomenal and if you can find a safe place to pull over fish creek and nearby areas are wonderful to explore. Make sure you're looking at the weather especially near times of flash flood warnings and more. I'm a bit sad they've paved more of the road recently which makes it so much more susceptible to those who don't care or tsk into account all it's history. We've seen big horn sheep, and so much more. Be cautious when driving and courteous of others as many parts are blind turns and only room for one car around the corners. Well worth it no matter what a stop at Tortilla Flats for an awesome meal with more history.

As we approached the building (you can't go in it), the smell hit us and I thought, oh no, I've made a huge mistake. I think I was just there on a bad day or something, because I didn't see many reviews mention the smell at all. What smell? Raw sewage, very sulphur- and trash-like. I mean, it STUNK. It was strongest at the top overlook, right next to the building. As we went down the staircase to the lower level, the smell began to dissipate and eventually, to my nose, disappeared altogether. On the lower level, we saw the waterfalls. You can walk under/behind two of them and there are "seats" made of stone blocks in front of the third. The water was flowing pretty hard the day we visited, so the seats and all the pavement was wet and there was a slight mist coming off the middle one. The overall place is like a mixture of industrial and environmental architechture. There are metal-looking columns holding up the upper deck, yet the waterfalls look like they were copied from Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, and there are large stones/rocks embedded into the walls everywhere. It sits on the edge of a small park with a decent sized lot and there are hiking paths. We only came for the falls, so I can't speak to the hike, but the area looked fairly nice. I'd like to see it at night as it looks pretty cool in pictures I've seen. If you're looking for something a little different to do or show your visitors from out of town, this is a neat place to go. Hopefully, the smell is a one off, but even if not, hold your breath and go down the stairs..... 13/2026

The QCOM is a really cool local landmark. I've been coming out for years to buy their special olive…read moreoil. Apart from the EVOO, we enjoy the garlic and vanilla bean flavors a lot, but they offer so many other varieties. One thing I love is they provide recipe cards with suggestions on how to use their olive oils, vinegars etc. to make awesome dishes. That's how we first discovered the incredible vanilla bean olive oil waffle recipe. Another great service they provide is the ability to sample most everything. The store features other local products like jams, honey, granola etc. They have the OliveSpa line of body care products also. So many great items to shop for! Many years ago we took the tour and learned all about how the olive oil is made. And you cannot forget the Del Piero Kitchen where you can come dine for breakfast, lunch, dinner or brunch. Oftentimes on weekends they have festivals or live music on the patio. It's just a happening place - definitely worth checking out.

They also have a wonderful Italian market with aisles full of specialty foods, plus the cutest kitchen knick-knacks and gifts -- perfect for the foodies in your life. The food is fresh and delicious, whether you enjoy it there or pick something up from the fridge to take home. When the weather is nice, it's lovely to sit outside under the olive trees, and during the summer there are plenty of comfortable indoor tables. It's the perfect little getaway for a couple of hours if you're in the area. The 40-minute olive oil education experience was so enriching and absolutely worth it. Just a quick note - summer is much quieter, but be prepared-- it gets really busy in the winter!

The town was located really close to the Lost Dutchman State Park. All of the shops had air conditioning which was nice. The cowboy hat shop was really cool. Saw some of the hats were $79. They have a saloon called the Mammoth worth checking out. They had a lot of cute attractions, such as gold panning, mine tour, zip lining, and railroad riding. Bought a pound of copper from the museum for $50. Apparently everything in the museum was tax free. Looked like they charge $1.50 for credit card, which was not mentioned nor were there obvious signs about the credit card usage fee. Admission to the cost $10 for 13 and up, $8 for 65 and up, $5 for 8 to 12, and free for those under 8. Really fun town to spend an hour or two. Lots of things to do for all ages. All the staff were friendly. Town was clean. Would return.

The mystical building was unreal. Be warned if you very motion sickness I got queasy! Matt at the mine tour was also great! Loved this so much I came back to hear the ghost tour by Michael! So good!
