Where the Waterfalls Are
Mayer sits in or near the Mogollon Rim and Central Highlands area of Arizona. The broad escarpment of the Mogollon Rim and the mountains below it form a transition zone between plateau and desert, with ponderosa pine, oak and juniper replacing cactus. Workman Creek Falls in the Sierra Ancha of Gila County is one of the better-known falls here, dropping off a forested mountain bench. Yavapai County listings near Camp Verde and Mayer sit in the drainages of the Verde and Agua Fria rivers, and Greenlee County falls lie in the rough mountain country around Morenci. Flows depend on winter snowpack at higher elevations and on summer monsoon storms, so the region is at its liveliest in early spring and late summer. Read the Arizona waterfall guide.
