Globe Travel Information
Globe is a mid-sized town of 7,000 people east of Phoenix. It boomed
in the 1900's with the discovery of silver. The silver was quickly
depleted, but abudant copper kept the town thriving. Many of the
mines still operate, but today Globe is known for the many
recreational opportunities available in the national forests that
surround the town. Hiking, mountain biking and camping are all popular
as are boating and fishing on Roosevelt and Apache Lakes. There are
also good seasonal whitewater rafting opportunities on the Upper Salt
River near town. Globe's historic downtown is also of interest to
travelers. Globe is located 80 miles east of Phoenix along US
Highways 60 and 70. View Area
