Get ready to experience some of the most far-reaching scenery in Arizona, from atop the Mogollon Rim. This is a land of extreme beauty and historical significance. Covered in forest and grassland, the Rim has been home to Native Americans, hunt-ers, cowboys, pioneers, and farmers. A true geological wonder, the Rim stretches over 200 miles, sits 7,000 feet above sea level and presents a dramatic drop of 2,000 feet to the desert floor below. We’ll explore some of the most significant overlook points that the Rim has to offer—expansive views that stretch for miles and miles. We’ll visit historic Payson—the hub of Arizona’s Rim Country—where we’ll enjoy a delicious lunch, included, at Fargo’s Steakhouse. Back in the Transits, we’re off to Woods Canyon Lake. One of a series of canyon-bound lakes in Arizona’s beautiful Apache Sitgreaves National Forest, Woods Canyon Lake, sitting at an elevation of 7,500 feet, offers pleasant temperatures and a cool mountain breeze. We think this is the perfect setting for afternoon margaritas and picnic site relaxa-tion or an easy nature walk. It’s gonna be fun!
