The beauty spot lies just 50 miles from the city and about 25 miles past Cavecreek. It was at one time simply the place where a Tonto National Forest range station was located, but visitors so admired its scenic beauty and the peace and quiet of the spot that, with the aid of the Civilian Conservation Corps, the forest service developed it into a camping area.

Ashdale is reached by an improved road that leads out Seventh street and through Cavecreek. The distance is but 50 miles.

Only a few miles south of Pine is the larger community of Payson.

It is the headquarters of campers, vacationists and tourists. In the vicinity of these two communities are numerous ranches that take guests at all times of the year. Cabins can be rented and plenty of places to "camp out" are available. For those who enjoy horseback riding over mountain trails, saddle horses familiar with the country may be obtained easily. Trout fishing in Tonto creek and its tributaries will be found equal to any in Arizona.

Only 16 miles north of Flagstatr, this unusual crater gives the visitor a realistic picture of what a volcano should look like what one well might look like before it had cooled after a violent eruption, for the cone of Sunset Crater still is tinged with orange and red, giving it the name. But strangest of all, the illusion of heat and devastation given, by the great lava flows and the red-lipped cone makes almost paradoxical the presence of numerous ice caverns in the lava itself.
