The elevation as well as the latitude here on the Colorado Plateau in Northern Arizona influences the weather. The elevation provides for the cool summers, yet we avoid the severely cold winters.
Four Seasons in Northeastern Arizona
All four seasons have their special attributes: In the winter we get some snow, usually the accumulations are around an inch or two, and gone by noon. However, it is common to get one winter storm that will provide good moisture and an accumulation of eight to ten inches. The temperatures can be below freezing in the morning, but it warms up to "shirtsleeve" weather by noon.
An Occasional Winter Snow
In the spring, March can come in like a Lion, but leads to beautiful spring days.
The summers are unusual in that by the time the temperatures climb into the high 80's to low 90's, we have the beautiful monsoon season. On a typical July and August day, the sky is clear in the morning and about noon you can see cumulus clouds starting to form to the southwest as moist unstable air is forced up the Mogollon Rim. By early afternoon the sun is blocked with clouds and very often you are treated to a cooling rain shower. A major portion of the moisture comes during the monsoon season. There is a "second spring" during this time and pastures and wildflowers come alive.
The fall here is a truly great time of the year. The days are mild with crisp mornings, sunny days and the most comfortable temperatures imaginable.

Recreation Abounds Around This Arizona Ranch
Here you can play golf the year around. Outdoor activities are never put on hold for weather. With all there is to do, there are always plenty of places to explore and enjoy.
This part of Arizona has an abundance of geological, archeological, as well as modern history unmatched anywhere in the country. We are surrounded by today’s southwestern Indian cultures and art, as well as prehistoric “Cliff Dweller” ruins, early American westward migration routes such as Route 66, the Santa Fe Rail Road, a hundred year-old Harvey House, the Painted Desert, the Petrified Forest, the Grand Canyon and a natural landmark called the Meteor Crater.
There are two Pueblo cultures an easy drive from here in the Hopi and the Zuni Pueblos. The Navajo Reservation is north of here and within it are many trading posts, Canyon De Chelly, Monument Valley and much more. Southwest Indian jewelry, rugs, pottery, etc. are abundant at many of these places at great prices. On this property we have found arrowheads, petrified wood, ancient pottery chards indicating prehistoric trade routes.
The White Mountains, just to the south of us, have some of Arizona’s best hunting and fishing areas as well as the Sun Rise Ski Resort. Around this area we have Antelope, Deer, Elk several fishing lakes and streams and other outdoor activities galore. With the “checker board” sections of public land adjacent to this property, you can ride horseback for miles through old ranch country. All this make this property ideal horse property for a horse owner, or sportsman, or any independent-minded person who wants to live an uncommonly free, unrestricted and active life.
Hunting

Evidences of Deer and Antelope are seen on this property, and Antelope are often seen driving on the way to town. Trophy Elk are not uncommon in the White Mountains as well as Bear, Turkey, Sheep, Mountain Lion and waterfowl. Arizona State Law permits the harvesting of wildlife by Archery, Black Powder Rifles and Firearms. The vast Apache Lands are open to hunting and fishing by the Apache tribe, in accordance with their regulations. There are also nearly endless U.S. Forest Service and other public lands that offer outdoor activities galore.
Fishing
There are many lakes and streams in the area that abound with native Apache Trout. Brook, Brown, Cutthroat and Rainbow trout are all common in these recreation areas also. If you prefer, there are places where you can catch Bass, Artic Grayling, Northern Pike, and Walleye.
Golf
The close-by Snowflake course is a beautiful 27-hole course with several elevated tees, well-manicured fairways and excellent greens. It is owned by the municipality, has a great Pro and very economical green fees. Practice areas and instruction are a real plus for the avid golfer.
South of Snowflake is the Silver Creek course. It is consistently Rated 4 Stars by Golf Digest. The golf course architect, Gary Panks, designed this 18-hole championship course that wanders through the juniper covered hills of the area.
East of here is the Concho Valley Golf Course. It is a very good 18-hole course, is well maintained and has reasonable green fees.
South of here is Pinetop Lakes Golf and Country Club. It is a beautiful 18-hole executive golf course. This course offers great views that winds through the pines and has a great country club restaurant. Because of its elevation, it is closed in the winter.
In Show Low there is the Bison Ranch Golf and Country Club. It is also situated in the tall pines and is a lovely 18-hole course.
This Area Suited for Alternative Energy
The climate is mild and is very well suited for alternative energy if so desired. The sky is usually sunny with few or no clouds, providing excellent solar energy. There is an abundance of wind available for a wind power generator.
Great Environment
Excellent water is plentiful due to the high quality water source far below the surface named the Coconino Aquifer.
Clean air is also very plentiful. We are in one of the clearest air areas in the nation. At night the sky is full of stars and/or a bright moon.
Self-Reliant, Individualist American Family Place
This is big, wide-open ranching country with free running Antelope, Deer, and occasional Elk, as well as cattle and the odd cowboy. This is freedom.
Here is the quintessential property for the old traditional self-reliant, individualist American family. It has all the amenities of living in town without the limitations, and other things, that come with living in a crowded urban environment.
