ABOUT THE WHITE MOUNTAIN ARIZONA AREA
There’s something for everyone at Torreon in Show Low, Arizona (White Mountains). This unique community offers a secluded and densely tree covered setting with excellent local services a short 10-minute drive away. Just 5 miles from the local airport, air transportation is available from a commuter air carrier servicing Phoenix. With magnificent views, towering Ponderosa pines and world-class golf, Torreon ranks among the finest mountain golf communities in the Southwest.
Welcome to Arizona’s White Mountains — where rugged beauty is the perfect backdrop for those who want to play as hard as they work… Or for those who just need a little “R and R” amid acres of cool pines and peaceful mountain streams. Surrounded by National Forest, the area boasts over 600 miles of streams, more than 40 lakes and a 200-mile trail system. Torreon is a field-day for outdoor lovers. In the summer, temperatures are typically 20 to 30 degrees cooler than the desert regions. Which means a day of outdoor recreation — like mountain biking, hiking, canoeing, playing golf, trout fishing or horseback riding — is a pleasure. In the winter, 11,000 foot Mt. Baldy invites skiers and snowboarders alike to try its fresh powder at Sunrise Park Resort, Arizona’s largest ski area. Cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing, guided snowmobiling and sleigh rides are also favorite cold-weather pastimes. Summer or winter — spring or fall — the quiet beauty of Arizona’s White Mountains and the rich cultures of our communities offer something for everyone.
