McNary is a small desert community located in eastern Arizona, USA, on the border of Navajo and Apache counties, at an elevation of about 2,200 meters. Founded in the 1920s, the town sprang up as a supply depot for the Great Northern Railway, and briefly prospered from lumbering and the concentration of railroad employees. Today, with a population of less than 500, the economy is based on livestock (cattle and sheep farming) and the surrounding forest resources, and the town retains its vintage railroad station and old-town look. Close to the Navajo Nation Reservation and surrounded by the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, McNary's cool summers make it ideal for outdoor activities, making it a low-key destination for experiencing rural eastern Arizona.
