Nutrioso, AZ

Set high in eastern Arizona's White Mountains, Nutrioso is a quiet mountain hamlet along the scenic Coronado Trail, about a dozen miles south of Eagar. At over 7,500 feet in elevation, the area features wide grassy valleys and dense ponderosa pines, with direct access to the surrounding Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. Daily life here is simple and spread out, centered around a local post office, a historic 1930s schoolhouse, and scattered ranch properties. For people looking for rural privacy, clear mountain air, and four distinct seasons, Nutrioso provides a peaceful, remote slice of the Arizona high country.
