Fort Bowie National Historic Site preserves the adobe ruins of two army forts that stood in Apache Pass during about 25 years of conflict between the Chiricahua Apache and the U.S. Army. A roughly three-mile round-trip trail passes a Butterfield stage station ruin, the post cemetery, an Apache wikiup and Apache Spring before reaching the visitor center and ruins.
A hike-in park with a visitor center near the ruins; allow about two hours and bring water.
