I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and I love photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world! Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream.
As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
Pinetop-Lakeside is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream destination! And if you’re in need of an escape from the city or big town you live in and could use some peace and quiet, why not make a weekend of it? Explore all that this wonderful corner of the Grand Canyon State has to offer and spend the night at the most unique place to stay in Pinetop-Lakeside, Arizona.
Tucked away in the White Mountains, there's just something about this area I find so magical. Pinetop-Lakeside is known for its incredible hiking and biking trails as well as its extraordinary views.
If you enjoy hiking, one trail you may want to take is found within the Apache Sitgreaves National Forest. The Pat Mullen Mountain via Sierra Springs Ranch out-and-back trail is a moderately challenging 3.4-mile hike with an elevation gain of 406 feet and will lead to some gorgeous views at the summit!
Exploring Woodland Lake Park while visiting Pinetop-Lakeside is also a must. With so many recreational activities at your fingertips, you could spend an entire day here.
