Many people don’t realize how diverse Arizona really is – they figure it’s all desert here. We know that’s simply not true. Some of Arizona’s towns sit up in the mountains, amongst the pines. This delightful town is just such a place. Drive along AZ-87 and just try to go through the delightful little town of Pine without stopping. It’s impossible!

You'll find Pine between the towns of Strawberry and Payson.
