Superstition Mountain from Lost Dutchman State Park 
The Superstition Mountains are located in the Sonoran Desert east of Phoenix.  The main peak is 5057 feet (1541 meters).  This photo shows the volcanic rock formations on the western end.   The mountain is an old and inactive "super volcano."  Lost Dutchman is named after a most famous lost gold mine.










The Aviation Museum has 2 hangers full of planes as well as planes outside.  Featured are planes from WWI to the Vietnam War.  One can even takes rides in some of them!
