Safford Travel Information
Safford (pop 14,000) is a medium-sized town in southeastern Arizona.
It is primarily a farming and mining town, but serves as a nice base
for exploring Mt. Graham in the Pinaleno Mountain range southwest of
town. Mt. Graham is the third highest mountain in Arizona with a
peak reaching 10,720 feet and is also home to the Mt. Graham
International Observatory. The Pinaleno mountain range is one of four
of the Coronado National Forest's "sky islands", and has plenty of
camping hiking and a little trout fishing. It provides a refreshing
break from the often scorching summer temperatures of the surrounding
areas. Safford is located in southeastern Arizona where US Hwy 70
and 191 meet. It is 30 miles north of I-10. Access to Mt Graham is
off AZ Hwy 366, 7 miles south of Safford. View Area Map.
