Show Low Cabins & Vacation Rentals

Show Low Travel Guide

Who doesn’t love a town with a rhyming name? This particular town in Arizona was named in about the most Wild-West way possible. After an incredibly long poker game that wouldn't end, two rivals decided “this town [then just a ranch] ain’t big enough for the two of us”. They decided to flip for it, and if one of the gentlemen were to “show low” he could stay. The man pulled a 2 of clubs, the lowest card possible and said “show low it is”. Now the town is called Show Low and the main street is called Deuce of Clubs.
