‘Tis the season to head for the hills – the Arizona White Mountains, that is.
This four-season wonderland boasts outdoor adventures for everyone – from hiking and biking to hunting, fishing and boating – even snow bunnies, who flock to Sunrise Park Resort.
Spanning the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest and the Fort Apache Indian Reservation, the “Sierra Blancas” cover a whopping 2.76 million acres along the Mogollon Rim.
While natural beauty abounds year ‘round (as evidenced by the largest stand of Ponderosa pine in all of northeast Arizona), events cater to locals and visitors alike – as do dining and lodging destinations.
Road trip, anyone?
