elcome to the Superstition Mountain area and the community of Apache Junction, Gold Canyon, East Mesa.

We have something to offer everyone.

The Apache Trail’s irresistible beauty spans miles of deserts, mighty canyons, jagged mountain peaks and sparkling desert lakes that attract outdoor enthusiasts of any age.

Mountain. In spring, cactus blooms and colorful desert wild flowers are simply gorgeous while in summer visitors can witness lightning storms above the mountain. An occasional winter snowfall that dusts the surrounding mountain peaks is the perfect setting for our blue skies and beautiful sunsets. This beautiful desert is home to many types of wildlife including birds, bobcats, coyotes and even a few black bears.

Apache Junction is the gateway to outdoor adventure and scenery, The Apache Trail begins at the Junction and quickly reaches Canyon Lake and the old stagecoach stop at Tortilla Flat; an authentic remnant of an old west town. Soon the Trail becomes a dirt road with hairpin turns and steep cliffs offering scenic vistas as it passes Apache Lake and approaches Roosevelt Lake, which is nestled at the foot of the Superstition Mountain Range within the Tonto National Forest. Several breathtaking desert lakes including Canyon, Apache, Saguaro and Roosevelt feature boating, water skiing, fishing and camping. Paddle wheel boats offer cruises across both Canyon Lake and Saguaro Lake.

In addition to the sights and outdoor experience, Apache Junction offers many events throughout the year. Each November on Veterans Day we honor America’s bravest during The Veterans Day Parade as part of the Festival of the Superstitions. We take pride in several fine golf courses, including the award-winning Gold Canyon Golf Resort.

Take a drive out US Route 60 to the annual Arizona Renaissance Fair or the beautiful Boyce Thompson Arboretum. The Apache Junction Performing Arts Center is host to many musical performances throughout the winters and our award-winning Lost Dutchman Marathon has been featured as one of the best small marathons in the country.

The Trail also hosts Goldfield, a ghost town that once was a boomtown during the late nineteenth century. Stroll down Goldfield’s Main Street and explore its many shops and historic buildings. Tour the historic Mammoth Gold Mine and visit the Goldfield Museum. Pan for gold, take a ride on Arizona’s only narrow-gauge train or witness an old west gun fight performed by the famous Goldfield Gunfighters! Spend a fun-filled day, rich in Wild West history.

Your first stop should be the Visitors Center, located in the Apache Junction Chamber of Commerce building, for local maps, brochures, information and friendly, helpful people whose goal is to assist you in finding the treasured experience you seek. I hope you enjoy your stay in Apache Junction and decide to come back again and again.

Visitors may also explore the Superstition Mountain Museum, which hosts the history and artifacts of this dynamic region.

With a plethora of Native American, natural history and geology exhibits, this attraction is ideal for all ages.

Experience the striking year-round beauty of the Sonoran Desert on one of many hiking trails or off-road trails, where stately Saguaro cactus merge with the Superstition

ABOUT THE CHAMBER

I

t doesn’t get any better than this. In the shadow of the majestic Superstition Mountains, the Apache Junction Chamber of Commerce represents a diverse group of businesses located in a varied geographic region extending east of the metropolitan Phoenix area in Pinal County.

In the early 1960s, a flourishing business community was forming along the Apache Trail. In June 1960, the Apache Junction Chamber of Commerce incorporated for the purpose of “fostering and promoting social, economic, commercial, industrial, agricultural and civic interests of the area of Apache Junction, Pinal County, Arizona, and its trade area.� As with most chambers of commerce, business leaders felt the need for representation as a business community, and for a group to promote the thenunincorporated community of Apache Junction.

Today, the Apache Junction Chamber partners with federal, state and local entities, community organizations, and the business community to create an environment that is attractive to positive economic growth and opportunities. With the support of our members, the Chamber will continue to represent their interests, develop programs that give value to their membership, and give members the needed support that allows them to grow and prosper.

Celebrating 50+ years in operation, the Chamber offers benefits and advocacy for nearly 425 Chamber members.

Serving the areas surrounding Apache Junction, the Chamber facility also houses the Apache Junction Visitor Center. This Arizona Office of Tourism designated visitor center accommodates over 35,000 visitors annually while receiving thousands of phone calls and distributing information for relocation and tourism.

The Apache Junction Chamber is focused on giving the business community the opportunity to affordably advertise and network while advocating for business on a local, state, and federal level. The EVCCA (East Valley Chamber of Commerce Alliance) represents more than 7,500 member firms from the Ahwatukee Foothills, Apache Junction, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Queen Creek, Scottsdale and Tempe Chambers of Commerce. Its purpose is to advance the common business interests in the East Valley.

We would like to thank our current members for their support; and if you are not a member, please consider joining.

We are committed to making Apache Junction a great place to live, work and prosper.

He, along with a chimpanzee named Jimmie, started Arizona’s first zoo in the 1930’s and began to add animals until he had established a considerable collection. In 1945, he sold his thriving business to Jack and Beverly Anderson, whom most consider the founders of AJ.

AREA HISTORY

APACHE JUNCTION

In the 1880’s, two important events happened; the Apache chief Geronimo surrendered to the U.S. Army and gold was discovered. Once word got out about the gold, a boomtown called Goldfield was established. Within five years however, the picture had changed; the gold was played out and the town deserted.

In 1959, construction began on a movie set to promote the area to the film industry. With its breathtaking backdrop of the Superstition Mountains, Apacheland Movie Ranch became a popular location for western movies and the stars who enjoyed filming there. After surviving two fires, Apacheland closed in 2004.

Apache Junction became an incorporated city in November 1978. Since then it has grown from a small town with a fascinating history to a city with an exciting plan for its future.

Early in the 1900s the Mesa-Roosevelt Road (later named the Apache Trail) was constructed, followed by a large dam on the Salt River. With the Roosevelt dam in place, water and power were accessible and growth began in earnest in the valley below. With that, Arizona’s first governor, George P. Hunt, planned a road that would run between Phoenix and Globe and the new highway opened in 1922.

George Cleveland Curtis, a traveling salesman from Utah, also arrived in 1922. He set up a tent and started selling water and sandwiches to people traveling the dusty roads.

Curtis realized his good fortune to be so well positioned.

He filed a homestead claim and poured the foundation for a building that would become the Apache Junction Inn. When tourists began to winter in the area because of wonderful dry air, mild temperatures and beautiful scenery, his dreams began to come true. Curtis understood that with the influx of winter visitors would come the need

GOLD CANYON

Gold Canyon is a small community nestled in the foothills of the beautiful Superstition Mountains. It is an eclectic blend of old and the new, the wild and the tame, the luxurious and the rustic. All this and it is only 35 minutes from Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix. What was formerly a cattle ranch, is now a thriving community of 20,000+ people who love living in the shadow of the majestic Superstition Mountains.

With its perfect desert climate, unmatched scenery, and small-town hospitality, Gold Canyon lives up to its reputation as “the lost gold” of the Superstition Mountains.

Fun events that occur annually are: The Gold Canyon Arts Festival the last Saturday in January; Arizona’s only Renaissance Festival in February and March; musical performances hosted by the Gold Canyon Arts Council; and art tours and exhibits throughout the fall and winter seasons sponsored by the Artists of the Superstitions.

A great way to connect with nature is to “take a hike!”

Popular trails include Silly Mountain, Hieroglyphic and Peralta. In addition to hiking, the Superstition Mountain Wilderness offers an array of outdoor fun and adventure, with thousands of square miles of public land for bike

Center, Apache Junction Skate Park, and Rodeo Park Event Center.

Please take time to enjoy some of our great attractions during your stay with us. On Veteran’s Day weekend each November we take time to honor our veterans with a parade and tribute ceremony which kicks of the FESTIVAL OF THE SUPERSTITIONS, a free public event held in Flatiron Community Park. Don’t forget about all there is to do in February, our busiest month. The Renaissance Festival, held in Gold Canyon, starts on President’s Day and runs through April 1, so take the family out for a medieval good time! LOST DUTCHMAN DAYS also takes place in February and is considered our largest community event.

It spans over three days and includes activities such as a parade, dance, carnival, live music and rodeos.

I

n November 1964, the Apache Junction Chamber of Commerce launched plans to sponsor a public event called Lost Dutchman Day. It would be a one-day event held on January 23, 1965 at the Bayless shopping center and the Superstition Inn. The events would include a pancake breakfast, equestrian competition, the Junior Chamber of Commerce sponsored barbeque and an art show sponsored by the Mesa Art League. The Red Mountain Ranch was set to put on an exhibition of horse riding and there would be a greased-pig contest for the children.

Any child catching a pig got to keep the pig. Other plans included a street dance, street carnival, sidewalk sales, and an exhibit of rodeo tricks. A fast-draw exhibit by the Colt.45 Peacemakers from Scottsdale and Apacheland Raiders from the Apacheland movie studio were booked. At that time, there was a small rodeo grounds just south of the Apache Trail near present-day Broadway Road. The Chamber members hoped this would become an annual event and extend to more days of fun.

The first Lost Dutchman Day was held on January 23, 1965 and was a very successful, with attendance over 3,000. The event grew larger as the years went on and is now the largest community event held in Apache Junction Today, approximately 25-30,000 people attend the multiple-day event, which spreads across the community in several different locations. The event now includes a golf tournament, carnival, rodeo, parade, Johnsonville Brat&Beer party, dinner and dance, pageant and art show.

HEALTHCARE

T

he phrase “Quality, affordable dentistry� is not an oxymoron. It exists and its presence is growing in popularity. Thousands of seniors in Arizona and winter visitors from cross the United States and Canada have discovered it and are flocking to the small Mexico border town of Los Algodones, in Baja California, Mexico. Dubbed “the Dental Mecca� by visitors and news media alike, Los Algodones is located just 15 minutes from Yuma, and a couple of hours from either Phoenix or San Diego. Thanks to the quality and affordability of services available, this tiny border town has developed into a bustling center for pharmaceuticals, eyeglasses and dental care. Many winter visitors even coordinate their seasonal residency to take advantage of the tremendous savings to be found there. In fact, hundreds of clinics now populate the city as the area has gained a reputation as the choice for people seeking much more affordable alternatives.

With choices often comes confusion, however. How do I know who to go to for these services? While the choice for pharmaceutical and eyeglass service is typically a simple matter of price differences, the search for the right dentist can be daunting. As such, prospective patients should do their own research before embarking on addressing their

dental care. Each is encouraged to ask the various clinics about dentist’s training, credentials, warrantees, pricing, familiarity with US dental standards, and the availability of a bilingual staff to ensure no confusion before, during, or after the work is performed. Here, one outstanding dental clinic in Los Algodones can make the job much easier, and that clinic is Amazing Dental Care.

Amazing Dental Care is a full-service, American Owned Company that continually receives accolades as one of the top clinics in Los Algodones with its superior dentistry, excellent customer service, and affordability. Being American Owned means that the business owner is dedicated to providing outstanding dental care. The patient can rely on the two-year warranty and access to the business owner to address any questions or possible concerns. Moreover, with a bilingual staff and full-time translators, the patient is kept fully informed from the start as to the cost and status of the work to be performed while receiving full attention to the patient’s condition. Statements such as “Great Experience� or “I’ve never looked forward to a dental visit until now� provided on Feedback Forms filled out by their patients are indicative of the professionalism always shown by the Amazing Dental Care staff.

Despite the potential for savings on dental care in Los Algodones, the increase in international turmoil has caused people to ask about the safety of going to Mexico. While there are areas within the country that have certainly seen problems, Los Algodones is a safe, family friendly area that has a variety of shopping options, great local cuisine and cultural venues. Since the border crossing opens at 6:00 am and closes at 10:00 pm, there is little to no “night life” per say in Los Algodones, thus eliminating much of the type activities that draw trouble. In fact, with the exception of the occasional aggressive street vendor wanting you to go to their favorite shops, the 6,000 plus visitors that cross into Los Algodones daily always seem to enjoy their trip.

drive into Mexico, there is a fenced parking lot on the USA side where they can park and walk across the border. Fees are currently $6.00 a day and it is less than a 1/4 mile from parking to shopping. However, this is another area where Amazing Dental Care can help access to services. Patients that are unable or unwilling to drive from the Phoenix area to Los Algodones can take advantage of courtesy transportation that Amazing Dental Care provides from many locations in the Phoenix Valley. This complimentary service eliminates the worry about finding a dentist and navigating in Mexico. So, the bottom line in all this is anyone in need of top notch dental services backed by industry best warranties, access to business ownership, and significant savings should strongly consider placing your trust in Amazing Dental Care as thousands of prior patients have done.
