Alpine Scenic Attractions


The Apache-Sitgreaves Forest contains wilderness and primitive
areas. Within a 30-mile radius there are more than 200 miles of
trout streams and 11 lakes. In addition to the excellent fishing,
camping, hiking, and horseback riding opportunities, big game
abounds. Deer, elk, mountain lion, and bear, as well as turkey
javelina, and smaller game are attractions for hunters, trappers,
and photographers. Licensed guides are available.

Developed campsites at Luna Lake and the Alpine Divide are attractive
and well-spaced. Additional Campgrounos are found on the
Black River (elevation 8,000 feet) and Blue River (elevation 6,000ft.).
Luna Lake is also a wildlife refuge where bald and golden
eagles, as well as swans and geese, are often seen. An Audubon
refuge is at the Luce Ranch on the Blue River. Rock-hunters can
enjoy finding Luna agate, fire agate, and quartz crystals. A herbari-
um that helps people identify the hundreds of wildflowers which
bloom during the spring and summer is available at the Forest
Service Ranger Station in Alpine.

Local annual events include dog-sled races in January, a rodeo,
parade and dance in June, and weekly van tours and campground
programs during the summer.
