The far west is lucky to be wrapped by beautiful and unique areas. Much like the Superstition Mountains are a great asset for residents of the east valley, the ranges from Wickenburg south to Gila Bend have great natural values and recreational opportunities within this crescent of fragile Sonoran Desert.
