Payson is located in the geographical center of Arizona
in the Alpine region northeast of Phoenix
and in between the Sierra Ancha and Mazatzal Mountain Ranges. An abundance of
outdoor activities from cross-country skiing to hunting and fishing are supported

week of August. The rodeo celebrated 122 years of rodeo sport in 2006 and holds
the title for being oldest continuous rodeo in the world. There are also several
