Mogollon Rim

Stretching from just southwest of Flagstaff to the White Mountains of eastern Arizona, the Mogollon Rim marks the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau in Arizona. It extends across the entire forest and provides excellent views within Plateau Country and Desert Canyon Country as well. Dropping as much as 2,000 feet in some areas, the Rim provides some of the most far-reaching scenery in Arizona. Views stretch from its rocky edge to Four Peaks of the Mazatzals northeast of Phoenix. Sightseeing is a favorite activity along the Rim, but this forest area also features a historic system of hiking and horseback trails, picturesque lakes for boating and fishing, and backcountry skiing for wilderness adventurers.

The Mogollon Rim is known for its stands of ponderosa pine, which comprise the largest ponderosa pine forest in the United States.
