Welcome to Rim Country
The Rim Country — home to Payson, Star Valley, Pine, Strawberry, Christopher Creek, Young, and other vibrant mountain communities — is known as the “Heart of Arizona.” The Rim Country Regional Chamber of Commerce works to keep that heart strong by championing economic growth and providing support, advocacy, and resources to businesses throughout the entire region.
Bursting with excitement and natural charm, the Rim Country area invites you to experience a vibrant mix of educational, cultural, and outdoor adventures. Here, history comes alive through local museums and heritage sites that tell the story of Arizona’s rugged frontier past. Music lovers can enjoy lively concerts in the park, seasonal festivals, and community gatherings that bring neighbors and visitors together.
​
Nature enthusiasts will find endless opportunities for recreation amid some of the most breathtaking scenery in the state. Hike through towering Ponderosa pine forests, fish in cool mountain lakes and streams, or explore hidden canyons and scenic trails that showcase the dramatic Mogollon Rim. For those who love a slower pace, stroll through charming small towns, shop at locally owned boutiques, and savor regional flavors at cozy cafés and restaurants.
