Snowflake is a town in Navajo County, Arizona, United States. It was founded in
1878 by Erastus Snow and William Jordan Flake, Mormon pioneers and colonizers.
According to 2006 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the town is 4,958.


In popular culture
The logging crew involved in the Travis Walton abduction incident lived
in this town, and several events surrounding that incident happened here.
These events were dramatized in the 1993 science fiction film Fire in the Sky.
