Munds Park is a unique mountain community nestled in the midsection of the longest range of ponderosa pines in Arizona. A short one and one-half hour drive north of Phoenix, it is ideally located off I-17 just 20 miles south of Flagstaff. It is a summer haven for many of the Valley's residents.

Munds Park is the envy of many developments. Built amongst the trees, it is a true mountain home community with approximately 3,000 homes that provide a quiet and relaxed atmosphere for its residents or those looking to relocate. There are adventures for cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, hiking, biking and for ATV enthusiasts just outside the perimeter of this quaint island community that is surrounded by National Forest. Lake O'Dell adds to the outdoor enjoyment with a small catch-and-release fishing hole and an abundance of social activities provided by the community country club.

In the fall and winter months it's not unusual to see a small group of White Tailed Deer or female Elk and their calves cross over the paved roads to munch on acorns or tall fall grasses. In Spring many wildflowers are found in meadowy areas with eagles spotted circling from above and other wildlife that wander throughout this rural community. It is a impressive paradise for nature lovers.

Throughout the magazines editorial you will discover the history of Pinewood-Munds Park, nearby Foxboro Estates, and the founding families that settled into this community. Once a cattle ranch, it has evolved into one of the most sought after communities in Northern Arizona.
