Sightseeing
Just minutes from my house, Besh ba Gowah (1324 S. Jesse Hayes Road) is the city-run archeological park for the Salado Indians living in the area in the 1200’s. Start with the short introductory video for an overview of the site, pop into the little museum to see artifacts excavated from the site, then explore the recreated pueblo of the Salado people. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors, and free for children 12 and under. Plan on a 30-60 minutes visit.

Parks & Nature
This former mine is now a park with trails, mining artifacts, over 200 educational signs, a mining-themed playground, and a 9-hole disc golf course. Free and open dawn to dusk.
Plan on 30 minutes for a quick exercise stop and up to 2 hours if you want to read all the signs and see all the artifacts or have kids who want to enjoy the 100' zipline and life-sized mule climber and mining tunnel. Please note: there are no facilities past the entrance and very little shade.

If you want to hike and love experiencing desert flora and fauna, I recommend a stop at Round Mountain Park (it’s a little tricky to find, so look for Denny’s Restaurant, then go northeast on South Street until it becomes a dirt road that ends at the park entrance). This free park offers several miles of trails, with lots of steep climbs for cardiovascular stimulation. If you go to the top of the West Trail, you will reach the flagpole summit with a 360-degree view of Globe (a great place to head after our rare snowstorms!). I love Boulder Canyon for its colorful rocks and interesting trail. For kids, I highly recommend the shorter Bullseye Trail with lots of little caves and eroded rock

Many different hiking trails. I recommend stopping at the local ranger's station on your way up the mountain to pick up a map. Lots of interesting trails of varying difficulties, ask host for more information specific to your interests (i.e., rock hounding, hiking by water, tough hikes, fall colors, etc.).

Arts & Culture
1910 Gila County Sheriff’s Office and Jail (149 E. Oak Street) is a fascinating step back-in-time. Pre-schedule a tour or take a chance that a tour operator will be available by checking in at the Cobre Valley Center for the Arts (next door to the jail). I highly recommend watching the brief introductory video before looking at the artifacts, hearing the stories, and experiencing the eerie claustrophobic atmosphere of the old metal cages used as cells. Plan on a visit of 30-45 minutes. Also, if you have an interest in the paranormal, this site is allegedly haunted.
