    Breath taking views. Go as far as you can drive. Stop at various locations to snap pics The pine trees are a lot different from seeing cactus everywhere. Both are beautiful!!

    stop at at least one of the many view points at the Rim country lakes between Payson and ShowLow. Lots of hiking and exploring opportunities. Plenty of boondock camping sites or stay at one of the...

    The Mogollon Rim has to be one of Arizona's hidden gems. It's more than a mountain or foothill ridge. It's an area. And an amazing one at that. An area from which to view the vastness and ruggedness.....  more

    Fantastic place to get away from the crowds and the heat. Do yourself a favor and get back away from the main roads and find your own personal paradise.
  • By Joyful
    Wow! What a beautiful place! So peaceful, relaxing, enjoyable, and temps that are so nice! ❤️ A refreshing change from the HEAT in Phoenix! Great day trip from the Phoenix area! Enjoyed the drive to and around the Rim! There are a few pullouts to stop and look out over the Rim and capture great photos and videos!🙂 Lots of camping spots too! There’s a nice small lake. I didn’t capture the pictures of the Lake🙁 It can be crowded on weekends! There’s also a nice long paved walking path along the Rim! Wish I had time and the right shoes today! Next time I’ll come prepared Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back again and again and again!!🥰❤️
