This spot we found back in 1994 and kept going every time we visited Alpine, Arizona. Many a picnics were here and many a good memories of this particular spot. Even if the weather was too cold for a picnic we did it anyway. As you can see the view of Crescent Lake is shimmering and quite magnificent on a sunny, bright day. The elevation for Alpine is around 9,000 Ft., so weather here can get cold/snowy and warm/sunny. To get to Crescent Lake we'd drive 30 minutes on dirt road to get to this spot, and the other lake in the area is Big Lake, where we spent many a day fishing & chilling out. Alpine is special to me....very special, as is staying at the Sportsman Lodge (Frank & Phyllis Barnes)...Room #11. Kept visiting Alpine until fall of 03*
