Apr 5, 2016 — Fort Bowie was a 19th-century US Army outpost, now a preserved landmark. You can drive to the visitor center, but this hike leads in from the northwest instead, taking the long way to see some of the scenery before reaching Fort Bowie National Historic Site. There is a cemetary, a spring, and various sites. There's also signage accompanying most sites to give more context for the ruins and points of interest. This is a nice add-on if visiting the Chiricahua Mountains in Arizona.
