My favorite place to cool down in Arizona is in the White Mountains. Our family has enjoyed this area in all seasons. In spring, the herds of elk are bearing their young. Summertime is great for the wildflowers and afternoon showers. Fall has beautiful colors, with the aspen all golden.
Winter is splendid in white, and the skiing can be grand.
If fishing or hunting is your favorite pastime, this is the place. Hiking and a picnic are the best ways to enjoy the beauty of nature all around. The fresh air, clear sky and peaceful sounds are so very refreshing. Each summer, we visit Sprucedale Ranch for the fabulous horse riding, great country cooking and family time. Then there is Pinetop-Lakeside for golf, dining and the Hondah Casino.
