Nestled at the base of Apache Leap Mountain and surrounded by the picturesque Tonto National Forest, Superior is like no other place on Earth!

What makes Superior so unique is its geographic location. Situated along the "division line" of Arizona's three geophysical features, you can travel less than fifteen miles to the west of Superior and find yourself in the Arizona-Sonoran desert. Travel fifteen miles south and dive into the mineral-rich valleys and plateaus of Central Arizona. Go fifteen miles east and immerse yourself in the gateway to Arizona's majestic mountain ranges, complete with waterfalls and snow in the winter.
