PINETOP-LAKESIDE, AZ — The magical transformation of fall is here and Mother Nature is putting on quite the show in Northern Arizona.
Pinetop-Lakeside is located three hours north of Phoenix and you’ll see golden Aspens, orange Oaks, and red Maples mixed with green pines this time of year.
“In northern Arizona that's what we love about it is you really do you get the change of seasons you get to enjoy hikes and the cool weather and I just love the colors and you get to wear sweaters,” said Nicole, a local hiker in Pinetop. “It's days like these where you could go out in nature and enjoy the sun and enjoy and enjoy a drive in the country with family and friends and see the beautiful colors against the blue sky and the green pine trees. It's just beautiful."
This weekend getaway provides exhilarating hikes through color-soaked canyons or just take the car for a drive with the autumn leaves on full display.
“It's really just a quick drive from Phoenix and it's just such a nice spot to get out of the heat,” said Nicole.
