Attractions
The
benefits are endless when it comes to recreational opportunities. Four
seasons of outdoor adventure highlight the quality of life that is
experienced in Eagar. From skiing, ice fishing, and snowmobile rides, to
camping, hunting, hiking, fishing, horseback riding and mountain biking—nowhere
can you experience cleaner air and cool summer breezes. Fall brings the
sound of elk bugling and the crisp sound of wind swept golden aspen leaves—an
outdoor paradise.

 A
strong sense of appreciation and preservation for historical ancestry is
evident in this area of the White Mountains. The "Trail of Many
Tracks" is an historical driving tour that highlights the
prehistorical and historical aspects of the Little Colorado River Plateau
and White Mountains of east-central Arizona, in an effort to promote
heritage-based tourism. A variety of museums offer a sense of the pioneer
spirit and wild west excitement of the area. From the pre-history of
archeological sites such as Casa Malpais, Raven Site, and Rattlesnake
Ruins, to the historic homes found along tree-lined streets—a sense of
historic pride and preservation is recognized.
