Celebrate the Return of the Monsoon at Strawberry Lodge

'Backbone Fire Strawberry AZ'

The charming town of Strawberry, Arizona is still recovering from the devastating effects of the 2021 Backbone Fire. As a result, the community remains at high risk for severe wildfires in the future. Despite these challenges, we're excited to announce an evening of celebration and camaraderie at the Strawberry Lodge on Saturday, August , as we mark the return of the annual monsoon.

You can also bring small or medium-sized trailers and camp with friends and family. Please note that overnight lodging is not available at this time, but you can book a room at nearby locations such as the Strawberry Inn, Pine Creek Cabins, or individual lodgings through Airbnb.
