About Gold Canyon
Gold Canyon is an unincorporated community along US 60 below the south face of the Superstitions, about 17 miles east of Mesa's Census center point. It is the highest place on this site, at about 1,906 feet at its Census center point, roughly 793 feet above Sky Harbor. It is also the oldest: the median resident is 66.6 (Census ACS). Older adults are at higher risk in the heat, so a cooling failure here is worth treating as urgent. What to do in the first hour.
