Apache Junction’s primary historic attraction are is the Superstition Mountains, the site of the Lost Dutchman Mine. Many people are still challenged by the thought of discovering the Lost Mine and search the mountains for its location.
The name of the mountains, of which Superstition Peak at 5,057 feet is the highest, can be attributed to the legends and stories of the near-by Pima Indians.
