Wild West Experience
In Mesa, there is one thing for certain - the West is still alive and well in these parts!
One of the most popular day trips for anyone visiting Mesa is up the historic Apache Trail through the mysterious Superstition Mountains and into the foothills of the Tonto National Forest - the fifth largest forest in the United States. To this day, the area continues to pay homage to its Western roots which took shape in the late 1800s.
On this scenic drive guests will encounter a replica mining camp, an authentic old west stagecoach stop, a ghost town, the famous Elvis Presley Chapel, and the majesty of a mountain lake, all nestled in the beautiful Sonoran Desert landscape that captures the true essence of Arizona. For anyone wanting to capture the magic and mystery of the Southwest you can find it in Mesa.
