Situated on the eastern Arizona border is some of the most spectacular countryside in the US. When most people think of Arizona, they imagine a hot, dry climate with never-ending sunshine and lots of saguaro cacti. That would be true of much of the state, but drive east of Phoenix and climb in altitude and you're in a country that will leave you wondering if you're still in the state.
Peace and solitude reward those who venture into this pristeen wilderness. There are dozens of lakes in which to fish, many surrounded by the tall pines that give the area a unique flavor. Golf, hiking, skiing, camping and mountain biking are just some of the activities available . With four very distinct seasons, the White Mountains offer year-round activities. The temperature in summer is "just right" and in winter it's perfect for a cozy fireplace.
Whether your activity-minded or just in search of quiet relaxation, the White Mountains has it all.
