Snowflake, Arizona
Snowflake is a town in Navajo County, Arizona, United States. It was founded in 1878 by Erastus Snow and William Jordan Flake, Mormon pioneers. Snowflake is 25 miles south of Interstate 40 via Highway 77. The Apache Railway provides freight service.
Located in the tranquil foothills of Arizona’s White Mountains Range, Snowflake offers travelers a charming stay in close proximity to many of the state’s most popular destinations. Named for its founders, Erastus Snow and William Flake, Snowflake actually experiences mild winters due to its lower elevation versus its sister-communities in the White Mountains Region where it is nestled within a valley. Summers, similarly, are pleasant and visitors have discovered that the downtown’s quaintly historic district provide equally pleasant accommodations near many of Arizona’s attractions.
