About
Treasure Park East sits along the scenic Swift Trail in the high country of the Pinaleño Mountains at 9,000 feet elevation, offering a dramatic escape from the Arizona desert heat below. The picturesque mountain meadow setting features mixed conifer forest and provides access to diverse recreational opportunities including hiking, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, and birding. The Swift Trail Scenic Drive takes visitors from the Sonoran Desert at 2,900 feet to alpine meadows and forest on the 9,000+ foot ridges, offering the ecological equivalent of driving from Mexico to Canada in a single afternoon. The location boasts an interesting history steeped in legend. It is said that a fortune in stolen gold and silver was buried here by a band of outlaws in the 1850s, who reportedly marked the site with a triangle formed by three colored granite stones, though no treasure was ever found. The area's diverse habitat makes it well-known for birding and wildlife watching. The Swift Trail provides access to numerous hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking trails, along with several other campgrounds and picnic areas. Nearby attractions include Riggs Lake, stocked with trout by Arizona Game & Fish, and the Columbine Visitors Center.
