Pine Springs (Navajo: Tʼiis Ííʼáhí) is a populated place situated in Apache County, Arizona, United States.[2]
Pine Springs "sibling" town is Oak Springs. Pine Springs Road had been the main road to Window Rock before the interstate. It had a school, a trading post a log-constructed chapter house, and a Catholic mission. There is a copper deposit nearby that yields turquoise[3] used by local silversmiths. In 2009, the main dirt road to Pine Springs was paved with asphalt, connecting it to Interstate 40.[4]
