Seek Adventure in the East Valley

While wintering in the East Valley, you’ll experience its convenience to shopping in Mesa, Apache Junction, Gold Canyon and other local communities. Sports abound in Mesa, Tempe, and Phoenix.

In addition to shopping and sports, the Apache Junction Parks and Recreation Department has plenty to keep you active, entertained, and connected to the community. From lively concerts and seasonal festivals to movies under the stars and a wide variety of fitness classes, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Only a short drive east are breathtaking mountain vistas and the great Old West fun along the Apache Trail. From the the center of Apache Junction, it turns to the northeast, becoming historic SR 88 continuing into Tonto National Forest. You can really tell that you’re out of the city, on the real Apache Trail – a central pathway for outdoor enthusiasts, history buffs, and road-trippers alike. Continue east to visit the Superstition Mountain Museum, Goldfield Ghost Town, Lost Dutchman State Park, then at Canyon Lake, relax on The Dolly Steamboat cruises and stop in Tortilla Flat for some local color.

Steeped in history and nearby is the Copper Corridor where every town tells a story. From Superior to Oracle, you’ll find lively main streets, winding trails, and landscapes shaped by both nature and history. Superior encourages you to expand your wonder with its world-renowned living botanical garden, rich history in mining, and budding art and culinary scenes.

Of course, there’s lots to do and explore throughout this region to keep you active. Come stay in a local RV resort, so you can enjoy many urban and outdoor activities.
