About Gold Canyon Car Rentals
Gold Canyon sits at the eastern foot of the Superstition Mountains, just past Apache Junction on US-60 — closer to the desert than to the suburbs. The headline event is the Arizona Renaissance Festival, hosted on a permanent 50-acre site that hosts a circus, 16-stage theatre, jousting tournament, and over 200 artisans (glassblowers, blacksmiths, leather workers, weavers). The festival runs Saturdays and Sundays from January 31 through March 29, 2026, plus Presidents' Day Monday — 10 AM to 6 PM. With ItWhip, locals deliver to Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX, ~1 hr west) or your stay at Gold Canyon Golf Resort (two championship courses with mountain views), Mountain Brook Village, or one of the desert vacation homes. SUVs and Jeeps are popular here — the dirt access roads to the Superstition Wilderness, Lost Goldmine Trail, and Hieroglyphic Trail benefit from clearance, and the historic Apache Trail (now closed past Tortilla Flat to vehicles) is best explored in 4WD. 2026 events: Arizona Renaissance Festival (Jan 31–Mar 29, weekends + Presidents' Day), Lost Dutchman Days rodeo just west in Apache Junction (February), Goldfield Ghost Town gunfights every weekend year-round, and Dolly Steamboat sunset/astronomy cruises on Canyon Lake (~30 min northeast). Driving tip: US-60 east of Apache Junction during Renaissance Festival weekends backs up for miles starting around 10 AM. Either arrive at gate-open or after 1 PM.
