Ash Fork is 150 miles north of Phoenix, 50 miles east of Flagstaff and 50 miles north of Prescott.

The mountains around are fun to explore. 20 miles north of town the pine trees start again. Ash Fork has a moderate climate and an excellent location. These two elements make it an ideal stopping point to see the surrounding area. Today Ash Fork’s population is 530. The town sits at an elevation of 5,140 feet. The climate is mild all year round with a winter low temperature of 25 degrees and summer high temperature of 90 degrees.

There are historic markers honoring this once great road that crossed the country from Chicago to California. Visitors will still see some businesses that have been in operation since the 1920’s. Outdoor fun is only minutes away.

The town of Williams is only a short 17-mile drive to the east. Here, visitors will be able to enjoy four beautiful lakes located nearby. The Cataract Lake, Kaibab Lake, Dogtown Lake and White Horse Lake all offer fishing and camping. Events:Rolling Along Route 66 Days JuneOctoberfest October
