| Outdoors |

With our year-round great weather outdoor activities are very popular. Hike our beautiful mountains, enjoy boating in our numerous lakes, nearly all man-made by damming rivers such as the Colorado, Gila, Verde and Salt River, or just take those road trips and enjoy the breathtaking scenery. A quick 3 hour drive takes you to Pinetop and the Sunrise Ski Resort or 2 1/2 hours will take you to Flagstaff and Ski Bowl. Both offer ski runs with some of the finest conditions available in the country.
