Pinetop-Lakeside is an incorporated community located in the scenic White Mountains of Arizona.

The two communities incorporated as one town in 1984.

City of Show Low   (Click to Return to Top)

The City of Show Low, located about 175 miles northeast of Phoenix, a popular high country hub for outdoor recreationists visiting the nearby White Mountains or the scenic lands along the Mogollon Rim. At an elevation of 6400-feet, Show Low is located in northeastern Navajo County off US 60. It is about a 3.5 hour drive from Phoenix.

How Show Low got its name: It seems Marion Clark and Corydon E. Cooley, a noted Army scout during the Apache wars, were joint owners of a 100,000-acre ranch in 1875. Sometime later, they decided the place wasn't big enough for the both of them. To settle who moved, they agreed to play a card game called Seven Up. As the legend goes, the partners played all night. On the last hand, Cooley needed just one point to win. Clark turned his cards over and said, "If you can show low - you win." Cooley cut the deck, drew an unbeatable two of clubs and retorted, "Show low it is." And that was how the town was named.

Snowflake - Taylor   (Click to Return to Top)

A little later in 1878, nearby Taylor was also founded, named for Mormon church leader, John Taylor. Taylor was settled along the banks of Silver Creek by Mormon pioneers James Pearce and John Henry Standford, and retains a flavor of the Old West. Cattle ranching, hayfields, sweet corn and horse farms dominate the peaceful landscape. A modern Rodeo Pavilion stages year-round events for local and visiting horsemen and bull-riders. A modern shopping center is surrounded with green fields and semi-rural neighborhoods.

Springerville - Eager   (Click to Return to Top)

Located in Northeastern Arizona, the Town of Springerville is at the heart of the growing southwest. Originally established in 1879, Springerville sits at an elevation of 7,000 feet. Growing around Henry Springer’s trading post, the town was incorporated in 1948. Along with it’s neighbor Eagar, both communities reside in the Round Valley.

A variety of industries shape Springerville’s economic profile. In the early days, cattle and sheep ranching were principal economic activities, but these have gradually been replaced by tourism, agriculture, construction, forestry, and retail sales in support of the 2,000 local residents and an additional 9,000 residents that make up the trade area.

Springerville and Eagar offer the closest accommodations to many of the hundreds of lakes and streams in the White Mountains. They are just minutes from Apache Sunrise Ski Resort -one of the Southwest's premier downhill snow ski facilities.
