My husband and I spent 5 fantastic years in Pine, Arizona. These were the happiest years of our lives. Pine, and neighboring Strawberry, AZ, have breathtaking views, abundant wildlife, rich history and amazing people. These 2 quaint small historical villages in the mountains beneath the Arizona Rim are a step back in history to a simpler time. There are pioneer homes, antique shops, festivals, an annual mountain bike race that brings cyclists from throughout the world, horse ranches, and a nearby goat and llama farm that bring overwhelming charm to this mountain paradise. There is an old time fiddler's jam, storytelling events, and numerous artisans and crafters of the highest quality who call Pine, Arizona home. The area is a photographer or painter's dream in the fall and a picture perfect postcard in snow. The people are amazing. You can leave your engine running and go into the post office, leaving your purse on the front seat, and when you return it will still be there. It is impossible to articulate the magnificence of Pine, Arizona that first captivated the Mormon wagon trains traveling through, bringing the first settlers who, upon seeing such vast beauty, knew they were home and need travel no further. Pine, Arizona. Once you go, you'll know.
