• Riparian Preserve
  The Riparian Institute is on the preserve which is 110 acres at the Water Ranch in Gilbert, Arizona; near the water, which is why it was called the riparian. It is a marvelous location for bird watching, or picture taking, with over 200 species of birds being seen by people coming here from states all over America and from all over the world. All beautiful, and many rare birds have been sighted, with such a great number that many visitors have been surprised and amazed. One group encountered over 56 different kinds of species, with the ponds almost completely covered with ducks and shorebirds of various kinds. The list is unbelievably extensive, but some of the birds seen include; the Mexican mallard, Costa's hummingbird, chipping sparrow, greater roadrunner, American bittern, acorn woodpecker, ferruginous hawk, egret, Forester's tern, great horned owl, great blue heron, gila woodpecker, black bellied plover, Bonaparte's gull, Brewer's blackbird, American Golden-plover, Baird's sandpiper, black-crowned night-heron, European starling, blue grosbeak, brown headed cowbird, Caspian tern, black-throated gray warbler, broad-tailed hummingbird, fulvous whistling-duck and the double crested cormorant. The list above is just a small number of these multi-colored birds, but the entire list can be seen on their web site. It will certainly astound you and perhaps help you t o decide to go there to see for yourself. Take a picnic basket with some great wine, cheese and fresh loaf of bread with your most adorable partner and please don't forget the camera, a digital would be better so that you have plenty of pictures to take; and relax on a quite spot near the water to get the best day's enjoyment you ever had. It doesn't matter that you aren't a lover of birds or nature, it is the incredible wonder of seeing so many beautiful and exquisite colors flying through the air or just walking in the grasses that will surely make you stop a moment and thank God for what a wonderful place He had created for us. You will never forget it and you will positively tell your friends and family about this magnificent preserve.

• Heritage District
  The Heritage district is the main historical area of downtown Gilbert, Arizona, where unique shops, restaurants and office buildings call home. The town, not city, is one of the quickest growing places in the nation, especially in the last 15 years. It has grown faster than most of the communities in the United States, because of the quality of life, the robust and diverse economy, decent homes, schools and areas to raise your children or retire from the hustle and bustle of the big cities. However, it won't remain that way for long, as any good place that is noticed by the news media and the internet, it will soon become too expensive to move there or live there. There are many wonderful places to go and visit, it is really close to Phoenix, which itself seems to be growing in leaps and bounds, with no end in sight. The streets are clean and well kept, the building are almost pristine with colorful facades and inviting windows and traffic not bad at this time. In just 23 years, it grew from a population of 5700 to over 145,000, and since it is a planned type of community it continues to draw people from all over the nation and walks of life. It refuses to call itself a city, although with the population growth and the diversity of its businesses it could, it prides itself on being a small town community and all the persona that goes with that attribute. The heritage district includes the theater in the round, Hale Theater, with live performances, the historical society museum, four local golf courses and a multitude of annual festivals which include the Gilbert Days Rodeo. It was founded in 1891, and incorporated in 1920, sitting 1273 feet above sea level and on 76 square miles of land.

• Gilbert Historical Society Museum
  The society was started in 1960 to save the past for the future generations with documents, pictures and other artifacts that were put into collections that pertain to the history of the town, understanding that someday a historical building could become the center for this wonderful collection of data from the past. It soon came about in 1977, when the elementary school was given up for class use and was soon recognized as the perfect venue for the town's repository of antiquities. The Gilbert Historical Society was incorporated as a non-profit in 1979, and in 1980, the school structure was put on the National Register of Historic Places since it has been a town landmark for over 90 years. The building is owned by the society thanks to the goodness of Edna and Otto Neely, and was officially opened to the public in May, 1982. The society strives to enrich and enlighten the citizens of the town by bringing in guest speakers to the meetings, and gathering new items for exhibit. The society meets quarterly at the building on Gilbert Road. From the records, the first homesteaders were filed by six men and four women; with the farmland given away free if the family stayed on the land for five years, and others paid the government 50 cents an acre. The first was in 1893, and it was the town's namesake, William "Bobbie" M. Gilbert. In 1910, when the town was starting to be established, there were no amenities, like paved roads, electricity, radio, telephones, indoor running water, or toilets. The homes had porches built on to allow the residents to sleep outside because of the hot weather and no air conditioning had been invented. The first store in the town was Ayer's Grocery Store, which opened in 1910, and was the locale of the first post office in 1912. The post office was moved many times during the following years before being finally settled in its own building in 1979. The railroad depot was constructed in 1913 and torn down in 1969. The town became known as the alfalfa hay shipping capital of the country during the 1918-1919 years after the first World War, with the U.S. Army being supplied by the town for its horses in the war. The farming was done with horse drawn machinery up to the 1920s, even though autos had been introduced to the area in 1910. Anything that was shipped out of Gilbert went by the rails and sheep and cattle ramps were erected to handle them. They also shipped a lot watermelons from the area.

• Hale Center Theater
  The Hale Theater story begins back in the 1940s, when Ruth and Nathan Hale moved from Salt Lake City, Utah to Glendale, California, in the high hopes of starting a career in the acting business. Sadly, they soon found out how difficult it was and took a step of faith opening their own theater; the Hale Theater. They first show had only six in attendance, but the 110 seat theater started to grow, and now after 56 years, and five theaters later, the show still goes on. Operating in three states, the five theaters are owned and operated by the family and considered to be the longest continually running center stage theater in the nation. Ruth has stated that the life is exciting, with its shares of stressful times and strains, but also admits that there is not a dull moment in any of it.  The Hale Theater has not had a single week where it wasn't performing some wonderful show to the delight and enjoyment of the community. They have been and are devoted to bringing the best family style entertainment on stage. The theater also has superb shows for children, like the present one of Jack and the Beanstalk being shown now until the middle of November. The theater has won many AriZoni awards for excellence in the actors enthusiasm, the directors and support staff's involvement, hair and makeup, production sets, sound, and the choreographers. In the year 2007 and 2008, they won 13 awards and the year before 20. The Hale Theater in Gilbert has been in operation for 7 years now and they are just as happy to be here as the community is to have them. With the way television and the internet have made it easier to stay at home, it is great that there are still some people that enjoy heading out for a night at the theater to watch a lively comedy, tragedy, drama, or whatever impromptu show is going on. Try going here to do something completely different and you will certainly be surprised.

• Dolly Steamboat
  Steamboating in Arizona? Sounds like a strange place to go on a steamboat, but the Grimh family has been doing just that for over 2 decades. Their steamboat travels the length and width of the magnificent Canyon Lake, within what is considered by many to be the mini Grand Canyon of Arizona and has been one of the best attractions to see in the state. There are nature cruises, astronomy cruises and twilight dinner cruises that flow along secluded areas of this fantastic lake hidden deep within the Superstition Mountains, in the Sonoran desert. Here you will fall in love with the natural beauty that exists everywhere and around each corner, you'll see incredible fauna and flora that is so prevalent in this canyon. There are many legends about these mountains and your host, the captain will be happy to recant them all as you glide lazily along the serene lake. Make sure you bring cameras and binoculars as the sights that will surprise you appear out of nowhere; like the hawks, bald eagles, bighorn sheep, coyote, vultures, mountain lions, deer, bobcat and other varieties of nature's beautiful creatures. President Teddy Roosevelt stated that the Apache trail areas are more grand than the Alps, Rockies and the Grand Canyon with that indefinable extra something. It is a 90 minute narrated cruise that flows along the canyon's floor lake, with the walls rising over 500 feet into the Arizona sky, with animals of all kinds and species live, hunt and raise their young. Besides the above mentioned animals, there are also mule deer and white-tailed deer, running along the lakeshore among the mighty boulders and rock outcroppings that spring up from the lake shore itself. The steamboat has a lunch to offer, as well as a snack shop; since food or drink is not allowed to be brought onboard, but water bottles can be. Since the Arizona sun is hot most of the year, and still quite bright in the winter, they advise bringing hats, sunglasses and plenty of sunscreen. The steamboat runs even in the rain, and the lower deck is covered so that you needn't worry about getting soaked. The desert seems to spring into life when the rains come, since it is a desert, and there may be a chance for waterfalls if enough rain falls. The dinner cruise serves up some good food, and you have your choices of what's available. The astronomy cruise is held once each month with a local radio personality and renowned astrologer Dr. Sky. The doc will present information about the solar system and there will be telescopes onboard to assist you with the magnificent night views and stars. The views are positively breathtaking and glorious, with incredible mountain vistas and canyon walls that will keep you spellbound for hours. This is one tour that you will want to take and it is definitely one you will remember for years to come.

It could become a family outing with all the members of the family riding their bikes together to go to the parks or shops in the town; creating a twofold economic venue with people exercising, and cutting down on fossil fuel usage. The town plans on having the trails bring the community closer, as folks riding the trails will say howdy to their neighbors as they spend the afternoon, morning or evening enjoying the new trails and giving them an opportunity to spend quality time with the family. They, the town council, also hopes that this improvement to the quality of life for its citizens will bring more businesses back into the downtown area, which in turn will bring more people coming to do their shopping there. All this on top of a healthier town's population. Besides just riding their bikes for fun, exercise and enjoyment, many will opt to ride to work, school or any other place; with a trail that is part of a larger region trail, allowing more interaction between the region's people and the beautiful views that sit along the trails.
