PRACTICAL WANDERLUST

7

As Arizona's third largest city, Mesa offers a scenic retreat for those seeking a small dose of adrenaline on their holiday.

From spiky cacti to rugged cliffs, exhilarating hot air balloon rides to refreshing lakes, this scenic retreat offers adrenaline-pumping experiences for every thrill-seeker. Join us for a holiday that's anything but ordinary in Arizona's third largest city.

1. Hot Air Balloon Ride

The ride is incredibly smooth as you stop to take in the completely unobstructed view all around you of the first rays of the morning sun over the desert landscape.

2. DOLLY STEAMBOAT

The Dolly Steamboat cruise is such a special way to absorb the sights of the Superstition Mountains and Canyon Lake. Daytime Scenic Nature cruises take sail multiple times throughout the day.

3. Go River Tubing

The inflatable lounge rings are the best seat in the house for views of the volcanic mountain ranges.

4. Go Off-Roading

Rough, rugged and bumpy trails with wild views through the Sonoran Desert are adrenaline-inducing and captivating both during the daylight or on the nighttime star gazing tour.

5. Hike Along Desert Trails

You could easily venture to Arizona for the hikes alone! Rigged rock towers of red and bronze, burrowed caves, and ineffable views are some of the best rewards.

6. SUPERSTITION MOUNTAIN MUSEUM

A hodgepodge of local history and part western fandom shrine, Superstition Mountain Museum is a good time for all cowboys and girls – even the lone stars.

7. Eat at JALAPEÑO BUCKS

These burritos and Barbeque are worth the wait!
