Fort Apache Indian Reservation

Fort Apache Indian Reservation Review

The 2,500-square-mile Fort Apache Indian Reservation is the ancestral home of the White Mountain Apache Tribe. The elevation of the tribal lands ranges from 3,000 feet at the bottom of Salt River to 11,000 feet in the White Mountains, and the area provides some of the best outdoor recreation in the state. Most of the more than 15,000 tribal members live in nine towns, the largest, Whiteriver (population 5,200), serving as tribal headquarters. Tribal enterprises include Sunrise Ski Resort, Hon-Dah Resort Casino, cattle ranching, and lumber.
