Apache - Nde (The People) are a culturally rich Nation with heritage tied to Mother Earth - thousands of years of lineage and knowledge passed down through countless generations since the time of creation. The San Carlos Apache Reservation is located in southeast Arizona, east of the city of Globe; our 1.8 million acres include a wide range of lands and habitats -- including San Carlos Lake -- and ranging from Sonoran Desert along highway 70 where most visitors first enter our land, to Rocky Mountain montane conifer forest at the highest elevations.
