The winner pulled a deuce of clubs, and Show Low got its name. Legend has it the town of Show Low got its name when two feuding ranchers sat down to a game of cards, agreeing that the one to pull the lowest card would get to remain in town, and the other had to leave.
In June the town celebrates Greer Days, with events like a toy duck race. You can enjoy scenic hikes along the Little Colorado River, which flows through the town, or pay a visit to the Butterfly Lodge Museum, a circa 1913 log cabin built of local ponderosa pine and Douglas fir. About an hour’s drive from Hawley Lake, the little town of Greer packs a lot into its diminutive borders.
