11 Best Small Towns in Arizona: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGKUlH-rer6rgdE

[@dianacarter_art]

I lived in a very secluded small town in AZ called Crown King. There were fewer than 100 people and the Forest Service was the main employer. I went to school in a little red schoolhouse with 4 or 5 other children. I was the only girl in school and the oldest as well. Had a little motorcycle that I rode to get around and I also had a horse. A lot of our evenings were spent at the Crown King Saloon playing pool and dancing to music on the jukebox. It was a lot of fun for me and I'll never forget the people or the place.

[@luisasantarosa7927]

thank you for sharing good story

[@blang8127]

I lived in CK also from 1994 to 2006. AFRAME behind General Store and Fire station. Was so much fun. I knew many as you did probably.

[@carlmolander8499]

Visited Crown king. Definitely a secluded town in AZ

[@jimdandy6452]

I live in the west valley (Goodyear) and went to school at NAU back in the 80s. I've seen Crown King on the map and have often wondered about the place but even to date have never been there.. I'll try to change that now

[@herbstanwood3309]

Another secluded town is Bowie. Was a railroad town until around the late 50s or early 60s. It now grows pistachios and walnuts. I was born in Bowie 82 years ago.

[@JSees]

Pecans

[@cliffterrell4876]

Bowie has been infected by commiefornia corporations and is only a shadow of itself. Same thing is happening in San Simon. The two truck stops and school district in San Simon are the main employers in the San Simon valley.

Also the hometown of John Rambo.

Hey, somebody else that knows about Why! I got to drive 3 hours one way to pick up a client for a medical appointment in Tucson, during Monsoon season. The power was out in the entire town, including the single gas station, so their pumps weren't working. I had to pray that my gas lasted till I got back to Tucson.

My wife and I hiked the Hotshots Memorial Hike. It is a challenging 6.5 mile hike in which every 600 feet as you begin the hike, there is a plaque with the information of each firefighter. It tells their story. At about almost 3,25 miles in you come to the site where the firefighters lost their lives which they have crosses where each fire fighter was found. A very moving hike, challenging so bring a lot of water, sunscreen, a hat, hiking boots, food etc. Just be prepared.

Thank you for sharing this video. I grew up in a small desert town. Not necessarily secluded, it made me appreciate any rural desert town. Imagine my shock when I moved to Phoenix as an adult in 1983 after growing up in a town of 2800 people. At the time, Phoenix had a population of 800K people and was a nice city. Though, traffic was horrendous as it had no major freeway to get around the city. I used to love visiting the little towns outside of Phoenix back then. Apache Junction, Goodyear, Buckeye. The reminded me of my home town. I made a few friends in those little communities. I left Phoenix in 1985 and returned to California for a job and have always missed Arizona and promised to return. I returned in 2019 for a visit. Holy Moly! All those little towns I used to visit are now cities themselves. I was shocked. They are nice cities, but I never expected any of them would grow so large.

Well, you got my attention with St David. Quickly Sierra Vista is the town that prospered(I now live in Tucson)! Benson not so much and I suppose one might say that of St David. My connection to that Mormon town(?) is Catholic thru the Trinity Monastery. I certainly have a healthy respect for the Mormons. St David lost(building torn down) it's elementary school(?), the one probably going back to your day(I graduated high school 1968 in Ohio). It MAY have been reconstructed elsewhere. It also lost the Holy Trinity Monastery. I went thru the town recently and happened to see a young girl(13?) sitting on the doorsteps of her family trailer. My heart went out to her thinking of how likely it is that she'll be unprepared for this modern world. Small towns are beautiful: it's the beautiful young people that I worry about. Us retirees going to small towns? That's one thing. The youngsters? That's another..........more than ever in today's world!

I lived in Heber, AZ. It is a fantastic community. People are friendly and the area is stunning.

[@EternalWithin]

I live in heber currently! That is true, have you ever visited windy hills lavender boutique? Or perhaps you lived there before 08, it would’ve been a steakhouse restaurant

[@traveldreamer4616]

@@EternalWithin I lived there before 08, but have been back to visit. I was a teacher at Capps when I resided there. Loved Heber!

[@rondelio8562]

You want secluded, don't think Heber- Overgaard, think Ruby, Pearce, Cochise, and other towns that are no longer on the beaten path. Arizona has a plethora of old ghost towns that are surely worth the visit, have interesting histories, and most definitely off the beaten path.

[@goofyahhslimjackson1942]

Rubys a ghost town been abandoned since 1942

[@zachb.7640]

Pearce is one of my favorite secluded towns

[@ifor20got]

I lived in Salome for a few years. Great town. So much side by side trails with great people

[@JS3music]

I have always been fond of quite American landscapes and towns. Drawn to them. Lived in them all across America. Love them. Love this channel. God bless you sir.

Lovely, you are awesome, thanks for the video,,,no words, mi friend,,

5:46 Beautiful summer monsoon season :) 9:36 The Safford theater at one time 10c for children - 25c for adults. Mr. Long's nicer theater a block South was more expensive. At video 10:10 up on the tower was the 10 P.M. curfew siren. The Gila Valley of which Safford is situated is a cotton producing area. A major crop in Arizona which most folks don't know about.

I just couldn't recover from the 1st town on this list, the Heber Overgaard. looks straight out of dreams or some cool open-world video game. I am closeby, will visit soon.

Having lived in Tombstone from 2000 to 2003, I believe it is too easy to get to, to be considered secluded. And most of the revenue is from tourists. Bisbee and Douglas are more secluded in my opinion. The jewels on this list are Patagonia, which is where I would opt to live and have reservations for a visit in a couple of months. Oracle is the other jewel. Still, I am proud to say I lived in Arizona for a few years.

[@ClaudiaHernandez-yq4vq]

I agree Douglas is where I live and yes it is very secluded

[@gregengel1616]

And I live in very secluded Bisbee. We drive to Douglas for the duty-free shop, and Sierra Vista for the Walmart.

[@lg4377]

i kept waiting for Bisbee to show up on the list. also Supai.

[@Inkironnrum]

@@ClaudiaHernandez-yq4vq I haven’t been to Douglas since 2014. Never lived there but love the small town vibe. What’s new there?

[@Inkironnrum]

@@gregengel1616 I miss Bisbee. I have often thought about moving there. The antique shops and a small pizza place there were my favorite places when I stopped to take a break from driving. The guy who worked at the pizza place was rude to me. But I still remained polite. I hope all is well in Bisbee, Greg.

[@barbarashirland9078]

Great video! Those are the kinds of places I would select for a day trip from Tucson where I live. And I’ve been to a couple of them. Lived in Arizona about two years now. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks!

[@paulbowers5995]

I hope you’ve been to Chiricahua National Monument since you live in Tucson. Absolutely amazing place and a wonderful day trip from Tucson where I lived the last six of my 34 years in AZ. Loooooooove Tucson!

[@pumped2run]

Ive been to all but Salome, and I'm secluded enough that several of these are my trips "into town." nearest gas to me is half an hour away, and nearest grocery is over an hour

[@RhondaTipton]

I moved to Wenden, AZ which is about 5 miles from Salome, after living in Houston, TX all my life. I love it here and it was cool to see the footage from Salome...although, I'm a little partial to my little town. 😆

[@silentecho4445]

you forgot to mention 😏 Nothing Arizona..my dad did gunfights in Tombstone on Eldorado Day bak in the 60's ...i like Tombstone 👍 the saloon still have the original bullet holes inside..

[@TheLordMyRock]

Wikieup, Oatman and Young are all more secluded than multiple others on this list.

[@debbiefunfar6357]

Thanks for your guidance. New here and your really a great resource.

[@clinthowe7629]

most everything is on the central and east side of the state, very little on the west, that’s a much more secluded part of Az. Yuma seems secluded to me.( far from other cities) Havasu city, Bouse, Parker, Baghdad, many of these are easy to get to but distant, Crown King, Cleator. Mayer, Humbolt, Skull Valley, Paulden, Wickieup. Hyder. just to name a few. I’m not sure if Baghdad is a town or a mine, but it’s definitely secluded.
