Pine, Census-designated place in Gila County, United States
Pine is a mountain settlement in central Arizona positioned above 5,300 feet, surrounded by thick forests and the rocky terrain of the Mogollon Rim. The community spreads across sloped land where trails, lakes, and forested ridges structure the landscape.
Mormon settlers arrived in the 1880s seeking cool mountain air and farmable land, establishing the foundation for this community. Their choice of location shaped the area that exists today.
The community gathers around local stories of mountain settlement and self-reliance, values that remain visible in how residents interact with their forested surroundings.
Visitors can use marked trails for walking, biking, or horseback riding, and two lakes provide fishing opportunities. Most outdoor activities are possible year-round, though summers are cool and winters bring snow.
A post office operating for over 140 years continues to serve as a gathering spot where residents meet and connect. This small facility has outlasted many changes in the community.
