Eagar
is located at the base of the White Mountains in the northeastern section of Arizona, about 18 miles west of the New Mexico border. It's nestled at the 7,000-foot elevation level and serves as the hub to the region's wonderful recreational opportunities. The town dates to the late 1800s when the Eagar family homesteaded this part of the state. It was originally called Union, but was changed to Eagar when it was incorporated in 1948. Along with its' neighboring town, Springerville, the two communities are known as "Round Valley." Tourism is a big part of Eagar, with its' easy access to the White Mountains, Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest and numerous lakes and trout streams. Activities in the area include hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, fishing, camping, winter skiing, sledding and wildlife viewing. It's a nice place to visit any time of the year, but especially beautiful in the fall. Eagar is home to a special 4th of July Celebration and Rodeo, a Christmas Electric Light Parade and Eagar Daze. The town of Eagar lies at the crossroads of several major thoroughfares and is approximately four hours from Phoenix and four hours from Flagstaff.

The northeastern corner of Arizona has a humid continental climate, due to its' very high altitude. Elevations in this region of the White Mountains reaches 8,000 to 10,000 feet. Arizona generally has a dry climate with little rainfall. The northeastern corner experiences more frequent thunderstorms due to the North American Monsoon. The temperatures here are usually comfortable during the day, and often sunny, but be warned that the sun is very intense in the mountains. Nightly frosts are possible, even in summer, and are an almost daily occurrence from October to May. Snow at the highest elevations can be as much as 100 inches, but is rare in the southern and western lowlands of the state. The plateau region of the northeastern corner of the state receives approximately ten inches of precipitation annually.
