Gold Canyon, AZ is located about 40-45 minutes east of Phoenix, AZ. It is a small, uninconporated city of about 6,000 residents. The small city boasts several award winning golf courses. It is adjacent to the famous Superstition Mountain Park where it has hundreds or thousands of square miles of places for hiking, horse riding, camping, “gold hunting” (Remember the Jacob Waltz story (The Lost Dutchman)? It happens at the Superstition Mountain)… It is because of this unique and picturesque mountain that draws lot of visitors from the US and the world to visit and sometimes to move to this place.
My family has been living in this quite city for about 10 years now. We live at the foothills of the famous Superstition Mountains. When we first moved here, the area had just started growing. Lots of community builders sprung everywhere on each side of the mountains. Population then was about 3000. The community is trying to maintain its uniqueness and to preserve the thousands of square miles of state land.
This is not Sedona, AZ by any means, but some people will consider this place, an upscale community. We have a lot of talented artists that have moved to our community because they have been inspired by the beauty of the surrounding wilderness of the Superstition Mountains.
Gold Canyon is our community and I hope that my daughter will someday call this place her home.
I have taken some pictures of our area from 5-6 years ago when I was running a community website. I will try to update and take some latest photos when I get a chance, as some areas have changed. I will keep you posted.
