Apache County spans high desert, red-rock canyons, and cool alpine forests, offering room to roam and communities with distinct character. From the county seat in St. Johns to the twin towns of Springerville and Eagar, and the cultural hubs of Chinle and Window Rock, residents enjoy a mix of ranching heritage, Indigenous traditions, and year-round outdoor adventure.
Iconic landscapes shape daily life here. Explore the sheer-walled beauty of Canyon de Chelly at the National Park Service’s Canyon de Chelly National Monument, then step back in time at the NPS-operated Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site in Ganado. Alpine getaways await in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests, where fishing, hiking, and cool summer breezes contrast with winter snowplay. Families love Lyman Lake State Park for boating and camping, while skiers and riders carve turns at Sunrise Park Resort when storms blanket the high country.
Schools anchor the county’s communities. Chinle Unified School District offers robust academics and celebrated athletics, while St. Johns Unified School District is known for close-knit campuses and strong extracurriculars; Round Valley programs in Eagar-Springerville add deep traditions and spirited dome-side events. Adult learners benefit from dual-enrollment and workforce pathways through regional partners like Northland Pioneer College. For services, permits, and local updates, the county government provides clear guidance.
