Hi Elizabeth, Wow, a lot of info - thanks very much! I'm really glad you told me about Pinetop & Show Low as I had no idea they were tourist traps. I now know I can probably just cruise on through. My thoughts on Show Low and Pinetop were simply for places to crash on my day of travel so I can g...

Hello, this is Salish, the one who began this thread back in January. It's a go - I'm coming down next week and I and I'm pretty excited about it. I'm heading directly to the Whites from the Tucson airport, in a rental car. I'm going to try for some hiking around the Christmas Tree Lake area, Show L...

I've spent some time in hot country and I know water is so very important, as well as shelter (shade). This past summer I did a week long kayak trip on ...

Thanks to all of you for such great advice, and fast, too! Some really great tips here so I'm saving it to the desktop. al1inaz: Yeah, in re-reading my post I guess it does look like I'm seeking fishing advice rather than hiking advice, but that's not really the case. My happiness comes from just be...

Hello, I’m a hiker and backpacker from Seattle. I will be attending a conference in Tucson the last week of June and I am looking for some hiking advice. I’ll be taking a few days before the conference to rent a car and head into the general area of the White Mountains, in hopes of finding some high...
