There’s no shortage of things to do in Goldfield. Wander the main street, popping in and out of shops and the town’s remaining saloon, check out the Mystery Shack where gravity appears to defy logic, pan for gold, and go on a mine tour.

When you’ve had your fill at Goldfield, head a mile down the road to the Superstition Mountain Museum.

Besides the paid indoor museum which features many fascinating exhibits, including one on the Dutchman’s Lost Mine, there’s also a great outdoor space to explore, including model trains and this 1914 stamp mill that was used to extract gold and silver from ore.

The Superstition Mountain wilderness is a breathtaking region to explore and should definitely end up on your list of things to do in beautiful Arizona!
