Arizona’s green wilderness had a lot to offer. From bears, to wolves to mountain lions. Keep your head on a swivel while traversing through the diverse terrain. Spring time always means cub and pup dens. With roads opening back up for public access be aware of wolf and cougar dens. As far as any trash, always remember to leave it better than you found it.

Breathtaking nature - not exclusive to this forest, but still. Plenty of dispersed camping spots with enough privacy. A lot of forest roads and areas were still closed in April, though.

Breathtaking and varied, this forest is a tonic for the soul. This vast wonderland of alpine forests, lakes, streams, valleys and meadows offers recreation of all kinds, including fishing, boating, hiking, hunting, ATVs, picnicing and daydreaming. In winter, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and sledding. Of course at nearby Sunrise, you can go downhill skiing as well. Wildlife abounds, and the summer wildflower display never fails to impress. Some have complained that damage from the Wallow fire has "ruined" large portions of it. Yes, the fire was destructive, but it rarely decimated entire mountains. It was more of a patchwork burn in most places, and new growth is everywhere. Somehow, there is also beauty in this cycle. Please don't let naysayers dissuade you from visiting and enjoying the forest -- most of which is perfectly intact and pristine.

Great Experience. Went here to pick and cut our own Christmas Tree. Permits are $15 online and the Park is so pretty. There was even a little snow for the kids to enjoy. Saw a family of healthy deers, cows along the road and horses. Great time with family

The little spot I stayed at was absolutely amazing, stunningly beautiful, and so quiet. I could hear the coyotes all over the meadow. The stars were just off the charts beautiful with no artificial light to mess it up. I highly recommend the little free spots. Great for peace and relaxation.

Open until 4:30 weekdays. Always courteous and very friendly. Super knowledgeable about the Aache/Sitgreaves. Getting wood permits is a breeze here.

I needed a place to stop with cellphone reception for a zoom meeting mid day. 5 bars full reception for Verizon. And it's a beautiful place to stop
