Greer
is an alpine village nestled in the heart of the White Mountains, east of Phoenix, at an elevation of 8,500 feet. Called "one of Arizona's treasures," this beautiful valley is bounded by the east and west forks of the Little Colorado River, surrounded by mountains and a spectacular view of Mt. Baldy (11,403 feet) and Mt. Ord (11,357 feet,) part of the Mogollon Range. Greer is a four-season tourist destination. Lodging, restaurants and shopping are available, but keep in mind that Greer is a mountain hamlet - not a big town, but this is what makes it so charming. Horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, fishing, birding, and rock collecting are popular summertime activities. A four-season climate means winter months that provide cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, sledding, snowmobiling, and ice fishing and skating - even horse drawn sleigh rides. The Greer Cross Country Ski Trails, along with Sunrise Park Resort, a winter sports complex 18 miles from Greer, attracts skiers from Arizona, as well as adjoining states. The Greer Lakes Recreation Area has four campgrounds and fishing is available at all of them. There are additional camping facilities and outdoor activities in the National Forest that is within a half-four drive of Greer.
