About Our Community
The San Francisco River runs through our valley from the north; Whitewater and Mineral Creeks cascade from the east; the spectacular Mogollon Mountain Range outlines  the sky. We are surrounded by the Gila National Forest, the western portion of the Gila Wilderness and the Blue Range Wilderness.
  This is a birdwatchers paradise; from the bald and golden eagles to resident great blue herons and black hawks, migrating cranes and ducks to six different species of hummingbirds buzzing the bountiful gardens.  Our area has been granted the distinction for some of the Darkest Skies in the Nation for stargazing.
