Who doesn’t like a good nature cruise…especially when it takes you to the heart of the Superstition Mountains!?

On my visit to Arizona, I was able to take the Dolly Steamboat on a leisurely sightseeing cruise.  The steamboat has been cruising since 1925, and what a way to experience this six-mile section of water. 

Sitting on the top deck (the enclosed portion with air conditioning), we gazed out the large windows to enjoy breathtaking scenes of the mountains as we traveled down the lake.  The captain recounted legends and lore of this section of mountain and pointed out various wildlife as they popped into view. 

Small snacks were served on board, but there was a take-out window on the dock where you could order food to bring along with you on the boat.  And although we did see some smaller boats wiz by, our nature cruise was very peaceful and quiet.  This is a must-do if you are in the area!
