Hondah, AZ

Hondah is a small mountain community of about 700 people in Arizona's White Mountains, sitting at 6,500 feet on the Apache reservation. Most visitors arrive via State Route 260 from Show Low, about 15 miles west, or take longer routes from Phoenix (200 miles) through Globe and US-70. The area offers cooler summers than the desert below, with ponderosa pine forests and four-season weather. The Hon-Dah Resort Casino anchors the local economy with its 126-room hotel.
