The Pine-Strawberry area enjoys FOUR SEASONS with fun activities
for the year-round traveler.
Pine and Strawberry are the best kept secrets in Arizona. A place where people greet you by your first name. People are genuinely friendly and support the local school team, the Buffalos, with pride. One of the best country bakeries anywhere, the Pine Village Bakery, inside the local market, has the most delicious cheese danishes, bear claws, apple turnovers, cookies, pies and breads. The restaurants and antique shops have a step-back-in-time-to-another-era feeling.
We have a country rocking saloon — Sidewinders — with the best blues and barbecued ribs around, and the Sportsman’s Chalet with a feel of being in the Swiss Alps. There is also the historic Strawberry Lodge and the Herb Stop, Pottery Studio, and goat and llama farm. Small town festivals, children’s activities and family events. Fishing, camping, hiking, mountain biking, 4-wheeling. Mountains. Forests. Creeks. Waterfalls.
When you travel to Arizona’s high country this year, don’t miss the picturesque villages in the mountains hidden in the sea of Ponderosa pines, 15 miles north of Payson on State Route 87. Make sure you have Strawberry and Pine on your radar.
