Video About Pinetop/Lakeside Area

About Pinetop/Lakeside Area

The elevation in Pinetop is 7200 feet. So – it is beautiful, and cool, and mostly Ponderosa Pine Forrest. Throughout the summer, the high daytime temperature runs from mid to high 70's and usually comes complete with the awesome monsoon season. The monsoon storms roll through quite quickly and then are gone.

Pinetop/Lakeside is a rather small community. The population is about 4,100, and neighboring Show Low, about 8 miles away has a population of about 12,000. The Pinetop area has a lot to offer with many different restaurants, bars, shops, and wonderful summer temperatures. It is our escape from the searing heat of the Valley when the days hit over 105 degrees endlessly.

It snows there in the winter - and it actually has SEASONS!!!! In Mesa we have only 2 seasons. Hot and Hotter. In Pinetop we get to experience all 4!
