There are so many different ways to experience Arizona’s Superstition Mountains: hiking, biking, scenic drives, and… zip lining? That’s right – among Goldfield Ghost Town’s seemingly endless array of family-friendly tourist attractions is a roller coaster-like zipline that takes passengers soaring high above our beloved desert landscape.
