High in Arizona's White Mountains, the Best Western Inn of Pinetop offers a cool, pine-scented escape in Pinetop, Arizona, where the air stays crisp while the desert far below bakes.
The mountains set the rhythm year-round. Sunrise Park Resort draws skiers and snowboarders to its slopes each winter, while warmer months open to boating, fishing, hiking, and golf across the surrounding forest, with a trail leading off practically from the doorstep. Seasonal events keep the calendar lively, from the Winter Games and sled-dog races to the Run to the Pines car show that pulls collectors from around the country, and the annual powwow brings Native communities together each summer.
Spacious rooms offer a quiet, restful setting framed by pine-tree views, and several golf courses sit close by. A relaxed, easygoing pace runs through the whole town. As the Phoenix heat climbs, few escapes feel as welcome as the cool pines above Pinetop.
