Point of Pines, Arizona
and Surrounding Areas on the
San Carlos Apache Reservation

Point of Pines is a "populated place" hidden in the Natanes Mountains on the
San Carlos Apache Reservation in Arizona. Actually, other than a ranch house or two,
there's very little to see. However, the region surrounding Point of Pines is a great place
to explore with not only pine forests but also juniper trees, expansive grasslands, rugged
cliffs and other things you'd expect to find at the "low edge of the high country." Point
of Pines Lake is also nearby. What the beautiful little reservoir lacks in size it
makes up for with its remote, less-visited environment and ample wildlife
including deer, turkeys, ospreys, great blue herons and black bears.
