Tonto National Forest

We drove through Tonto National Forest and Payson, AZ, which were beautifully covered in snow. Ironically, Arizona was the only state with real snow that we saw in our three-day drive from AZ to OH.

Northern AZ was probably the most scenic part of our journey - curvy roads through tall, snowy, pine-covered mountains. There was a mist that hung at the treetops that made us feel like we were driving through a snow dome or photographer's idealized winter landscape. Our cell phone pictures do the beauty no justice whatsoever.

Below are a bunch of AZ photos of natural beauty as viewed from inside our car, including snowy landscapes of Tonto National Forest. It were so many it hard to choose which ones to exclude, so these are designed to be a very quick flip-through.
