When you discover the White Mountains for the first time you will remember that experience for a lifetime, yet most agree that the changing of the seasons draws them back again and again.

You can feel the serene beauty of the White Mountains with its rebirth in the spring. An angler enjoys the chill wind coming off the high peaks towering above. Springtime rejuvenates the soil for the summer's flowers that will follow.

In July, there may still be patches of snow gleaming on the summits of Mount Baldy or Mount Ord which stands at over 11,000 feet. It is hard for desert visitors to remember to pack heavier clothing when they are leaving 110 degrees outside, but even in the summer, frost in the morning is not uncommon at the higher elevations

	Fall is a special time in the White Mountains. As the summer visitors scurry back to the hustle and bustle of the city, the aspens at the highest elevations begin their magical change to brilliant reds and golds. Fishing becomes livelier as trout instinctively begin to feed for the long winter ahead. Fall in the White Mountains also means prime hunting time. If you are lucky, you could enjoy trout for dinner one night and duck the next.
Many people enjoy camping at this time because of the solitude and wonderful fall colors. What better pleasure is there than waking up in the morning to the smell of fresh perked coffee and bacon cooking over an open fire?
Winter is truly a magical time in the White Mountains and recreational activities are second to none with emphasis on the Sunrise Ski Area. Owned and operated by the White Mountain Apache Tribe, Sunrise boasts three mountains, eleven lifts and over sixty trails. Sunrise is one of the largest downhill ski areas in the Southwest. Snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and tubing are just a few more of the opportunities rounding out winter recreation.
	An abundance of nature's rich resources have long attracted people to settle in the White Mountains. Those same resources — cool lakes and streams, green meadows and the world's largest stand of Ponderosa Pines — draw visitors back to the area every year to experience four seasons of fun and recreation.
Summertime in the White Mountains brings temperatures that are considerably cooler than the Arizona deserts, and winter snowfalls provide for some of the best winter sports in the Southwest. There is something for everyone — whether it be a quiet day in the cool mountain air or more adventurous activities, the White Mountains are the place to be.
