Spring is warm and the mountains are carpeted in wild flowers. Travelers descend upon lakes and mountain streams to fish for trout. Summer, meanwhile, heats things up, but its high elevation keeps it cool enough for hiking through the lush pine forests, and it is an ideal time to stay at one of the Pinetop-Lakesides vacation rentals. When fall comes, so do the golden leaves before the cold mountain temperature drops creating a playground for winter activities.
