Actually, Camp Apache/Fort Apache is located in the White Mountains on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation and is in timber country. The Fort and the Town of White River are on a little plateau that looks barren, but the area is surrounded by trees. Toward the upper left corner of the photo is a present day timber mill. Just up the road the Tribe operates a ski resort. It is in an area of Arizona that has four seasons (as opposed to Phoenix which has one season -- HOT).
