Gilbert is central to many of Arizona’s scenic attractions. Northeast lies the Superstition Mountains, the location of the legendary Lost Dutchman’s Gold Mine, as well as the Tonto National Forest which contains scenery ranging from rugged desert to cool pines. South lies Saguaro National Park, home to the giant saguaro, a plant found in only a small portion of the United States. But you don’t have to travel outside of Gilbert to discover the outdoors. Considered the premier bird-watching facility in the Phoenix metro region, the Riparian Preserve located within Gilbert features hiking and equestrian trails and provides an opportunity for wildlife and bird watching (approximately 250 species of birds have been sighted).
