THE BEST KEPT SECRET UNDER THE MOGOLLON RIM

Just one visit is all it takes for people to discover that Young, Arizona, truly is

the best kept secret under the Mogollon Rim. Originally named Pleasant

 Valley by the Texas cattle ranchers who discovered this pristine, lush valley,

the town has been named Young in honor of Miss Ola Beth Young who served the

community for 50 years as the town's first postmaster. Young is surrounded

by Tonto National Forest. At an elevation of approximately 5200 feet, the town

is located between the Mogollon Rim and Roosevelt Lake.

Only about half of the approximate 5,000 acres of private land in the town of Young,

has been developed. The balance is a combination of open grazing land and

woodlands. The year-round population of about 900 swells to 1000 in the summer.

Young's climate lends itself to a lifestyle of self-sufficiency.  Residents raise animals of

all kinds and garden from May through October. Pleasant Valley is also blessed with

an abundant, clean water supply and there are no restrictions on drilling wells.
