Overgaard, Arizona is located high (6,600 feet) on the Mogollon Rim in the Sitgreaves National Forest of Northeastern Arizona. Overgaard offers a unique mountain experience that is as different as night from day from the Phoenix Valley floor! With daytime temperatures in the mid-80s during the summer months, Overgaard provides a cool respite from the intense heat of the desert. During the winter months, you'll often find snow on the ground, making for a nice change of scenery. Overgaard is located an easy two and-a-half hours from Phoenix, one hour from Payson off HWY #260. Overgaard while small does offer several restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and other shops to visit, as well as two small grocery stores. Nearby outdoor activities include hiking, biking, and fishing. Within 30 minutes of Heber/Overgaard there are five recreational fishing lakes, and assorted hiking trails. For snow skiing, Sunrise Ski Resort is only an hour drive away.
