Quality
of Life
Northern Gila County is referred to as Arizona Rim Country. The Mogollon (pronounced
mō-GĒĒ-ōn) Rim is a 7,000-foot-high escarpment that stretches
several hundred miles from central Arizona southeastward into New Mexico. The town
of Payson is nestled in a valley and on rolling hills that rest at the base of the
Rim, surrounded by the Tonto National Forest and bordered by the largest stand of
ponderosa pine in the world.
