Views are phenomenal and if you can find a safe place to pull over fish creek and nearby areas are wonderful to explore. Make sure you're looking at the weather especially near times of flash flood warnings and more. I'm a bit sad they've paved more of the road recently which makes it so much more susceptible to those who don't care or tsk into account all it's history. We've seen big horn sheep, and so much more. Be cautious when driving and courteous of others as many parts are blind turns and only room for one car around the corners. Well worth it no matter what a stop at Tortilla Flats for an awesome meal with more history.

Since a kid, I've periodically visited Goldfield Ghost Town. When we have family visit from…read moreEngland, this is often a destination to visit as well. When the weather is cooler (November - February), this place is gorgeous to walk around and also take in the views of the Superstition Mountains. It's on my radar to return as I enjoy the restaurants, shops, and scenery. I think it would be a great date day with my boyfriend who has never been. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area!

It's worth checking out for more history and exploration of Arizona and of course the gold mine. There is so much to see at the museum as well and the staff are extremely friendly. They have so much to offer and prove more of the interesting history of the mine. As well as make sure you are having a fun time exploring this fascinating ghost town. It is more than just an attraction, its like an experience worth checking out. I also like the museum the town has. Even though you have to pay between $5-$10 depending if you're an adult or a kid, it is still fun to check it out. And learn more of the legend of the mine that many have spent decades looking for. There is also a zip line near here too but because of the intense heat I did not think to give it a try the day I went here. In the end, this is a solid place to check out and go to. There is so much to see, amazing vibes, fantastic customer service, and overall just a fun place to check out.

Nothing to be done but wait it out or take another route. Some of the road changes are not clear to many drivers. In fact today I saw someone take the left hand turn exit only to go straight ahead.

As we approached the building (you can't go in it), the smell hit us and I thought, oh no, I've made a huge mistake. I think I was just there on a bad day or something, because I didn't see many reviews mention the smell at all. What smell? Raw sewage, very sulphur- and trash-like. I mean, it STUNK. It was strongest at the top overlook, right next to the building. As we went down the staircase to the lower level, the smell began to dissipate and eventually, to my nose, disappeared altogether. On the lower level, we saw the waterfalls. You can walk under/behind two of them and there are "seats" made of stone blocks in front of the third. The water was flowing pretty hard the day we visited, so the seats and all the pavement was wet and there was a slight mist coming off the middle one. The overall place is like a mixture of industrial and environmental architechture. There are metal-looking columns holding up the upper deck, yet the waterfalls look like they were copied from Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, and there are large stones/rocks embedded into the walls everywhere. It sits on the edge of a small park with a decent sized lot and there are hiking paths. We only came for the falls, so I can't speak to the hike, but the area looked fairly nice. I'd like to see it at night as it looks pretty cool in pictures I've seen. If you're looking for something a little different to do or show your visitors from out of town, this is a neat place to go. Hopefully, the smell is a one off, but even if not, hold your breath and go down the stairs..... 13/2026

I especially love that you can sample many of the oils, jams and BBQ sauces before buying. I ordered from the Del Piero Kitchen and enjoyed the Mill Meatballs, which had great flavor, and the garlic Parmesan frites -- YUM! I also had a Hugo Spritz. A little sweet for me, but still refreshing. There are plenty of tables for small and larger groups, plus a bar where you can order drinks. I was tempted by the premade pasta and sauce dinners to take home, but decided to buy some wine instead. It was busy inside and quieter outside since we visited in mid-August, but they had the misters going. I can imagine how great the outdoor space and events are when the weather cools down. Definitely need to come back in the fall!

On this visit, we had the Melabella, Charred Mozzarella & Pesto, and Classic bruschetta, along with the White Mountain Pizza, Olive Farmer's Caesar Salad, and their special Meatball Sandwich. I usually stick with my favorites--the Drunken Tomato & Pepperoni pizza or Olive Farmer's Rigatoni Bolognese--but decided to branch out. Everything was delicious! You can tell they use quality ingredients, including flour imported from Italy, and it really makes a difference. Honestly, it's hard to go wrong here. Special shoutout to Wendy, the manager, who is always so friendly and helpful. The entire staff is welcoming and makes every visit enjoyable. Great food, great ingredients, and great people. At this point, I should probably just set up a permanent table! P.S. Don't forget the gelato! It's THAT good.

We got a giant pumpkin for our toddler to carve when we went on the weekend and there were way too many people for our liking. We came back during the week and it was much better so I would suggest going during the week right when they open at 3pm so you've got plenty of time to enjoy all the festivities. Admission: $12 general admission $10 with donated canned goods $6 for one-day pre-sale Kids 2 and under are free :) Free parking! I love that admission includes so many activities for kids to keep busy for hours. This year they added in a photo booth at the entrance which is so cute to help capture memories - often time it's hard to get a picture of the entire family if one person has to be the photographer so I hope this stays for the years to come! Corn maze, pallet maze, jumpers, train ride, petting zoo, slides, etc. are included. Food for petting zoo ($2) and pony rides ($5) are extra. Some things to keep in mind: They do not enforce mask policies here - you can wear them if you want to. Very dusty from all the dirt so maybe masks would be a good idea :) I would recommend wearing close toed shoes because of all the dirt/dust so you don't end up with brown feet... unless you're into that!

There are lots of neighbors up and down this street selling snack foods including popcorn, hot dogs, candy, and junk food.

Trust me, you can't miss it. :) REVIEW: For clarification purposes, a Temple is not a church building. They are 2 distinct and separate buildings for different purposes. Hopefully, Yelp will make the necessary edits to the page here. The Mesa Arizona Temple was announced in 1919 and dedicated in 1927. Such grand history for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints here in Mesa, Arizona. Please see the link for further details about the Mesa Arizona Temple here: https://churchofjesuschristtemples.org/mesa-arizona-temple/ Since shutdown, as in all Temples now, reservations are required. The Temple grounds are breathtaking and I read another Yelp page and review for the Christmas lights/program here at the Mesa Arizona Temple. Adding that to my Bucket List now! If you like history, and/or want to envelope yourself with peace and tranquility, do stop by the Temple. It's one of the most sacred places on Earth.
