Greer, Arizona
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greer is one of Arizona's favorite retreats into the White Mountains.
Sitting at approximately 8,600 feet in elevation, the small town of 125 full time residents rarely exceeds temperatures of 75 degrees Fahrenheit in the hottest months, creating resort-like weather just hours from scorching desert summers. Located in a remote valley, the Little Colorado River runs through the town and there are numerous lakes in the area known for trout fishing. The beautiful summer scenery lends itself well to hiking, camping, mountain biking and wildlife viewing, including elk, antelope, deer, beaver, numerous species of birds and even black bears. The town is surrounded by forest including ponderosa pine, aspen, oak and fir trees.
Greer's altitude and precipitous winters also provide winter recreation in the form of cross-country skiing and the 65-run Sunrise Ski Park, known as the best downhill skiing in Arizona, is only 30 minutes away.
