Snowflake is a small town in NE Arizona, on the edge of an area known as the White Mountains. The climate is very moderate, with an elevation of 5650 feet above sea level, considered a high desert. Snowflake does get snow, but it gets its name from two Mormon family settlers, the Snows and the Flakes. The winters are mild; it is common for the temps to reach into the 50’s and sometimes even into the 60’s. Temperatures can reach 0 degrees on a cold winter night and 100 degrees on a hot summer day. Summers are cooled down by the monsoons that typically move in around mid July through late August. Snowflake is centrally located between Phoenix and Albuquerque. There is snow skiing and cross country skiing within an hour as well as an abundance of National Forest for biking, hiking, camping, boating and fishing. Roping and rodeo are also very popular. The area is rich in Native Cultures such as Navajo, Apache, Hopi, and Zuni. The natural vegetation is the Juniper Tree, with the tall Ponderosa Pine nearby. The growing season is long and all kinds of fruits and vegetables can be grown. There is quite a concentration of environmentally minded people in the White Mountain area, and Farmers Markets help supply the ample organic fruits and vegetables grown locally.School District
