Sample Itineraries

If an outdoors adventure is the plan, head to Pinetop-Lakeside, Greer, or Springerville-Eagar and enjoy a day or two of hiking, biking, and fishing. In winter, hit the slopes or put on a pair of snowshoes.

Is your destination Petrified Forest National Park? Make the most of it by checking out neighboring towns during your journey. Spend a night at one of Snowflake-Taylor's quaint inns, then head for the park. Spend a second night in one of the historic hotels in Winslow or Holbrook, and head back to the city by way of Show Low on your third day.

If you have more time, there are more natural wonders: At Springerville-Eagar, you can connect to U.S. 191, also known as the Coronado Trail Scenic Byway. Towering over this southern part of the White Mountains is Mount Baldy, an 11,590-foot extinct volcano considered sacred by the Apache. Also worth exploring is the Mogollon Rim, a limestone escarpment that extends 200 mi southwest of Flagstaff to the White Mountains.
