Golfing

The White Mountains boast some of the most beautiful public and private golf courses in the state. There are eight public courses in the region, each with its own guidelines regarding reservations and dress code. Many of the courses include separate putting greens, driving ranges, pro shops, snack bars, and full service restaurants.

Biking

Exploring the White Mountains by mountain or road bike offers unique and memorable experiences. Mountain bikers heading into the National Forest can stop at the Lakeside Ranger District to pick up a copy of the White Mountain Trail System Guide, which rates trails based on length, change in elevation and type of terrain. Once the snows have gone from the slopes at Sunrise Resort, you can go downhill mountain biking. No need to ride uphill: there are bike carriers on the lifts.

Skiing

Sunrise Park Resort is a recreational paradise offering a wide range of fun and excitement. In winter, their three mountains offer some of the finest skiing in the Western United States. 65 runs promise adventure for skiers of any level. There is also a separate snowboarding area, cross country ski trails and a special “ski-wee” area for children. For more information, visit www.sunriseskipark.com.

Fishing

There are more than 400 miles of rivers and streams along with over 50 lakes on the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest and White Mountain Apache Reservation. Some of the best fishing in Arizona can be found in the pristine waters of the Apache Indian Reservation. Located minutes from the Hon-Dah casino along State Route 260, fishermen can find native Apache Trout in such popular destinations as Hawley Lake, A-1 Lake, and Sunrise Lake.

Fishing in the mountain lakes of the Apache Indian Reservation requires special licenses, available for sale on the reservation. For more information, visit the White Mountain Apache Tribe at http://www.wmat.us.
