We live in one of the most
diverse, beautiful and pleasant areas in the country. Our
communities all share one common interest, keeping our national
forest beautiful and our communities safe and enjoyable. Our
climate, environment, flora and fauna are very similar to a lot of
southwestern mountain areas with a number of our own unique
varieties and climate.

Weather
We have a very definite four
season mountain climate. Cool in the spring and fall, cold in the
winter and warm in the summer. Our falls are glorious up here with
all the foliage changing color, not from a lot of native plants but
from a lot of the imported trees and shrubs such as maple, poplar,
aspen, birch and other mid-west/east coast variety trees. We even
have a few native species of mammals that change coat colors. One is
a jack-rabbit that turns white in the winter and brown in the
spring. Our bobcats or lynx can also change color somewhat in the
winter and summer seasons. We are also fortunate to have an NOAA
weather station in Pine Mountain Club as well as one in Sandberg.
The Pine Mountain Station is online 365 days a year and can be found
HERE.
