One of the best winter towns in Arizona is a bonafide cold weather playground complete with snowy horseback rides, enchanted forest trails, and relaxing spa treatments. If you’ve never visited Pinetop-Lakeside in the winter, consider this your sign to plan a trip this season.
While Pinetop-Lakeside is a popular summer vacation spot, the small northern Arizona town also makes an excellent winter getaway.
Facebook/White Mountain Nature Center Nestled in the heart of the majestic White Mountains, the town receives around 40 inches of snow per year, transforming it into a postcard-worthy winter wonderland.
The town is a nature lover’s dream year-round, with a plethora of outdoor activities to enjoy.
