Fort Bowie


An easy hike


Although some hikers may not consider the Fort Bowie trail and “true” hiking trail, it should not be so easily dismissed. Rich in history, beautiful scenery and seclusion, it offers more than it takes.

I’ve wanted to visit one of southern Arizona’s most important forts during the fierce Indian campaigns of the late 1800’s for a long time. And I wasn’t disappointed. About every 1/8 of a mile along the trail there are interpretative signs which tell not only the story of Fort Bowie, but the Apache, civilians, and battles that took place in the surrounding area. Anyone interested in the Indian Wars NEEDS to visit this site. It is perhaps one of the best interpretative trails I’ve ever been on.

The information from this blog has been moved to the Experience Arizona website at: http://www.experience-az.com/adventures/hike/fortbowie/fortbowiehike.html

The Experience Arizona website has a lot more than the adventures contained in this blog:
- Interactive maps
- Weather
- To Do List
- Updated information
- Information on Arizona wildlife, plantlife and history
- Online magazine
- All for FREE!

Take a look, you'll be glad you did!
