About the Area

Alpine, Az is surrounded by the Apache National Forest at an elevation of 8100 feet. This provides a much cooler climate than the rest of Arizona- typically we are 25 degrees cooler than Phoenix during the torrid summer months. The streams are small and access can be as easy as walking out of your car and casting a line, to hike-in venues with 300foot canyon walls. The largest continuous stand of Ponderosa Pine forest in the world awaits you. In winter, we can still access streams and hike or snowshoe into the Blue Range Primitive area or the Escudilla Wilderness. Elk, Mule Deer, Mexican Grey Wolf, Black Bear, Turkey, and Coyotes are frequently sighted, as well as Bald and Golden Eagles. The fishing is varied with Rainbow, Brown, Brook and Apache trout.
