Western Hemisphere's Largest Sundial

For some reason, sarcastically explained here in Carefree, AZ is the Western Hemisphere's largest sundial, or second largest... I guess there's some controversy about where the bigger sundials are. For fun (if you're a science dork or have a sundial fetish), check the NASS Sundial Register to find a sundial near you!

Goldfield, AZ - the begining of the Apache Trail, tourist atraction stuck in the 1890's


You can get in a gunfight, visit the brothel, take a tour of the submerged mine or enjoy the views of Superstition Mountain. I highly recommend the ribs at the Mammoth Saloon!!!

Very close to Lost Dutchman State Park at the base of Superstition Mountain/
