The town was founded decades ago by the Union Pacific Railroad for coal production. Miners from around the world moved to this area to work and raise their families. During its heyday, Superior had a population of approximately 4,000 people. Today 300 residents still call Superior home.
Superior remains a diamond in the rough for those seeking real adventure and a look back in time. Be sure to check out our museum.
From our rustic main street and gravel byways to the high mesa trails the country calls to one and all, “Please come and see what the past used to be.” (4-wheel drive recommended)
Whether you are watching free roaming wildlife, rock hunting, or visiting ancient volcano cores or long lost ice caves the past is always present. This is an area of wide open vistas, clear clean air and a true sense of freedom. It’s like no place else on earth and it belongs to all of us. So come and enjoy! |
