Review:
Fort Bowie National Historic Site is located 113 miles east of Tucson, where it marks the spot where 25 years of conflict occurred between the Chiricahua Apache and the US Army in the late 1800’s. To view the remains of the fort and the Visitor’s Center you will need to complete a three-mile out-and-back hike from the parking area at the trailhead on Apache Pass Road. En-route to the Visitor’s Center you will pass the original Apache Spring, the remains of a stage coach station and the Fort Bowie Cemetery. Once you reach the Visitor’s Center you can view the small museum and the ruins of the original old fort. There are picnic sites at the Visitor’s Center and the trailhead. The Visitor’s Center offers various seasonal ranger programs.
