Superstition Mountain, Arizona
Superstition Mountain boldly stands guard over the eastern edge of Arizona's vast
'Valley of the Sun' which sprawls 100 miles to the west and is home to over 4 million people in the Phoenix metro area.
The legend of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine centers around the Superstition Mountains. According to the legend, a German immigrant named Jacob Walzer discovered a mother lode in the Superstition Wilderness and revealed its location on his deathbed in Phoenix in 1891 to Julia Thomas, a boarding-house owner who had taken care of him for many years. Several mines have been claimed to be the actual mine that Walzer discovered, but none of those claims have been verified.
