For nearly 25 years, Fort Bowie stood at the crossroads of the Chiricahua Apache's fight to defend their ancestral homeland and the U.S. Army's westward expansion. Today, visitors embark on a 3-mile scenic loop trail traversing the ground where this profound cultural collision forever altered the course of both American and Indigenous history.
The Fort and Visitor Center are accessed along a three-mile scenic loop hike.
The park is a little off the beaten path, but getting here is half the adventure!
The park grounds, trails, and ruins are open sunrise to sunset, 7 days a week. Visitor center hours vary.
Check the calendar for events at the park like ranger-led hikes to Fort Bowie, or Ranger Talks on the visitor center porch.
Help support Fort Bowie. There are many different ways that you can get involved and make a difference.
Plan ahead to ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable trip to the park.
