Our Road Trip to the White Mountains Arizona and More






We took a 3 days road trip last August 4-6,2009 to the White Mountains in Arizona and around to Globe, Miami and Superior. We are not done on this place yet, this place is huge check this website http://www.aztravel411.com/. We are planning on visiting each of this town here in Arizona. It takes time you know and it needs expenses but this is our plan. From Phoenix to Alpine it took us approximately 5 hours drive with some few stops along the way. We been to Payson few times, we just couldn't get bored on this place cause it's cooler than Phoenix in summer. They have pine trees around, picnic parks, creeks and we've been to their fish hatchery one time. We stooped by at Showlow for lunch and took some few pictures. As we continue driving we just pass by at the Pinetop, Eagar and Springerville. We've been at Springerville before also i think our daughter probably just 2 or almost 2 years old. We stayed a night on one of their hotel. That place is very quiet and chilly at night even at summer.What i loved about the places we've passed is they have plenty of tress around. We stopped at
Lyman Lake before and is just minutes north of Springerville. It is one of the largest lakes in the White Mountains area and permits speed boats and water-skiing as well as fishing. Here you will find campgrounds with hookups, ramadas, paved boat ramps, restrooms and showers. There is usually a small herd of buffalo that hang out in the park. Cabins are also available for rent. We stopped at the Big Lake before also. The Big Lake Recreation Area is home to one of the largest newly developed recreation facilities, featuring improved campgrounds, hookups, and shower facilities. During the winter months, the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest is also home to one of the largest winter recreation areas in the southwest, where cross-country skiing trails, snowmobile rentals, and sledding areas are open to the public. From the stopped for snack at Springerville we continue our driving going to Alpine and still another half hour drive.We have some few picture of our very nice get away road trip.
