About Alpine & Nutrioso

Tucked in the San Francisco River and Nutrioso Creek valleys near the New Mexico line, Alpine and Nutrioso are surrounded by the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest and framed by Escudilla Mountain, Arizona’s third-highest peak. This is true high country: quiet, green, and wonderfully cool in summer.

Real estate here is mostly cabins, log homes, and mountain properties on wooded or meadow lots, along with land for those who want to build a retreat. It is a favorite for hunters, anglers, and anyone chasing genuine alpine seclusion, so special properties are worth acting on when they appear.

Things to Do & See

• Luna Lake — A high mountain lake just east of Alpine, popular for trout fishing, paddling, and wildlife.
• Escudilla Mountain — Arizona’s third-highest peak, with a classic trail through aspen toward the summit area.
• Nelson Reservoir — A scenic reservoir between Nutrioso and Springerville known for excellent trout fishing.
• Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest — Vast forest for hiking, hunting, and exploring, with elk and wildlife everywhere.
• Fall aspen and dark skies — Brilliant autumn color and some of the darkest night skies in Arizona.

Shawn’s Local Favorite

Drive up to Luna Lake on a summer morning. The water, the meadows, and Escudilla rising beyond it feel more like the Rockies than Arizona, and that is exactly why people who find Alpine tend to hold onto their cabins for life.
