Sunset Magic at Boyce Thompson Arboretum
Autumn brings cooler temperatures and stunning light, making it the ideal time to explore Boyce Thompson Arboretum. On September 21st and 26th, you can take advantage of extended hours to enjoy the desert sunset in all its glory. Stay late and watch as the landscape is bathed in warm evening light.
For families, October is packed with fun! Every Saturday, the Arboretum hosts Nature Play, a hands-on event where children can explore the wonders of nature. It’s a perfect way to enjoy the great outdoors while learning and playing. Visit Boyce Thompson Arboretum for details.
Discover the Legends of Superior Trails
With cooler weather, it’s prime hiking season along the Legends of Superior Trails (LOST). Although the Queen Creek Canyon segment is currently closed, there are plenty of other segments to explore, including the scenic Arnett Canyon (6.5 miles), historic Pinal City Panther Trail (1.2 miles), and shorter options like the Miners & Ranchers Trail (1 mile) and Superior Town Center Trail (.7 miles).
These trails offer a chance to enjoy the rugged beauty of the desert while getting in touch with Superior’s deep history and scenic landscapes.

Superior continues to grow, with exciting new businesses adding fresh experiences to the town’s charm. The Gypsy Sisters, who had their grand opening on September 14th, are serving up organic coffees and teas made from premium ingredients. Their shop is a bohemian-inspired space filled with treasures from their global travels. Relax, sip on a delicious drink, and let your mind wander to your next adventure!
