The Ranger was very friendly and informative of the area and historic site. Walking the fort grounds was very easy and able to see the remnants of the buildings. Signs mark the entrance to the visitor center which is the first left

We spent almost the entire day hiking in and out of Fort Bowie, Arizona. This is the only location in the National Park System that we know of that requires you to hike 1.5 miles just to get to the visitor center! We finished the day with 5.5 miles and loaded with historical information that was available along the route.
The Fort was established by the California Volunteers in 1862, after a series of engagements between the California Column and the Chiricahua Apaches. The most violent of these conflicts was the Battle of Apache Pass in July 1862. The fort was named in honor of Colonel George Washington Bowie commander of the 5th Regiment California Volunteer Infantry who first established the fort. The first Fort Bowie resembled a temporary camp rather than a permanent army post. In 1868, a second, more substantial Fort Bowie was built which included adobe barracks, houses, corrals, a trading post, and a hospital. The second Fort Bowie was built on a plateau about 500 yards (460 m) to the east of the first site. For more than 30 years Fort Bowie and Apache Pass were the focal point of military operations eventually culminating in the surrender of Geronimo in 1886 and the banishment of the Chiricahuas to Florida and Alabama. The fort was abandoned in 1894. The hike and location have plenty of informational signs that tell you what happened and when! If you are a history buff, must go! The visitor center is wonderful with artifacts collected from the location!

This place is in the middle of nowhere. I took dirt desert roads for miles. It has limited parking near the Visitors' Center, with a short walk to it from parking. The VC has a small gift shop and museum to talk about the events that transpired. The ranger was really knowledgeable and friendly, so that is a big plus. There is not much at the site but some remains and a few signs along the trail. You have to REALLY want to go visit the site to visit this site.

To start, Ft Bowie is NOW WHEELCHAIR / HANDYCAP ACCESSIBLE. What a plus. Drive past the main gate till you come to a bar gate across the road. There is a phone number to call and they will come down and open it for you to drive the short road to the visitors center. The bar gate is necessary because the park is not manned at night.
The Fort is the ruins of what was once a vibrant fort and settlement. Stand on the porch of the Visitors Center with the NPS guide and you can easily pick out where all the buildings were. Go in the Visitors Center, you can easily spend an hour or more taking in all the memorable and stories that go with them. Get the Park Staff to tell you the story about how the "war" really started over a child.
If you are up to it, start at the park main gate, and HIKE IN... Be sure to have water with you and sun screen. ... Do not try without water.... This is the best way to know the history ... you will pass by the ruins of the Butterfield Stage Station, Apache Springs (the reason for the Fort) , the Fort Cemetery (be sure to look for the grave of a Medal of Honor winner, site of the original Ft. Bowie and more.
NOTE: You are at an elevation of 5,000 feet. Water is only available at the Visitors center.. The trail is of moderate difficulty... Watch for rattlesnakes.. Do not attempt by yourself.. Be aware of your surroundings, you are close to the Mexican border... Rains can quickly fill washes.
Please, don't let the drive in keep you from visiting.. 12 miles of graded road (gravel) . It is well worth every bit of inconvenience. As an aside, when the Fort was abandoned by the Army, they say the town of Bowie contain windows and doors from the Fort.

This site is definitely worth walking in for if you are interested in history and understand that ruins mean just that. You won't find the buildings standing beyond low walls, but what you will get is a great walk along the Butterfield stage route and the Apache Pass trail. You can imagine the Apache peering down on the calvary and travelers, and those same travelers and military staring up at the mountain tops wondering what might happen. After a mile and a half walk in, you will come to the site where there is a nice visitor's center and another trail to follow around the ruins. Check the hours before you go if you want to enter the visitor's center. If you stamp the National Park Passport book, the stamp is outside in a metal case. On your way hiking to the site, you will pass the original site of Fort Bowie, the foundation of a house, and the cemetery, which is a must. To get here, you have a couple of choices. If you are in Willcox, you can drive over to Bowie, then drive down a paved road until the last mile when a decent gravel road takes you to the parking lot where you will start your hike. This is the longer way by miles, but about the same time as driving south from Willcox until you reach a sign that tells you Fort Bowie is down a dirt road. You will drive for eight miles and reach the same parking lot as the other drive. Whatever way you choose to go, this is site is worth the effort. The park ranger and volunteers are friendly and offer tips to make your site visit a good one. In many cases, photographs showing what the fort looked like are posted in front of the ruins.

Bordered by the Chiricahua and Dos Cabezas Mountains this isolated outpost was a beehive of activity in the mid 1800s. What’s left now? Are remnants of the building with a trail into the site and visitor center center. The longer trail is one and a half miles or you can drive up two more miles and access the visitor center without walking too far. The site is clean and informative. It’s 7 miles of dirt road which was in good condition and manageable in my sedan. Give yourself about 3 hours to cover all the remnants and enjoy the hike.

Unfortunately, the day we visited Fort Bowie, the visitor center was closed and did not see any park staff around. Road reaching this NHS is gravel for miles. We didn't have a problem with getting a parking spot. I'm sure it would have been more wonderful if our plans had allowed us to visit when the VC was open....would have been more meaningful.

Fort Bowie is really hard to get to. It’s nearly 100 miles from Tucson and 25 from the nearest town. The last 8 miles are on a rock-strewn dirt road. I was glad I had a rental car to take the abuse, but was worried I’d pop a tire and be stranded for hours. When you finally get to the site, it’s actually a trailhead for a 1.5 mile hike to the ruins of the fort and visitor’s center. When you finally get there, all that’s left are true ruins, most of them knee high and barely more than outlines of buildings. The site has a lot of interesting history as a key transportation avenue before the railroads and was at the center of a long war with the Apaches. Signs at the ruins and along the trail provide this background. It’s just not enough to justify the effort and, honestly, risk of a car breakdown. It’s somewhat “on the way” to amazing Chiricahua NM (the 8 mile dirt road takes 20 minutes each way to drive), but visit the latter first and visit Ft Bowie on the way back if you have time - and a suitable car.

Be prepared for the worst roads of your life. They are nothing but washboard the entire way. There needs to be more signs upon arrival. We had to wander around up a steep trail to find the visitors center. Cool place even though we were not prepared for the conditions.

Are there rattle snakes in the area and when do they come out of hibernation in the spring? Would we be better off to come sometime in February, not only because of the snakes, but also cooler weather? Thank you.
كُتب بتاريخ 12 يناير 2017
There would be snakes. They are 4 times more active in the monsoon season July-August. The trail iswell maintained and you will be able to see them.

I am planning a visit to both Chiricahua National Monument and Fort Bowie, I was wondering the condition of the Apache Pass Road to Fort Bowie coming in from the south, from Hwy 186 (as opposed to coming to Ft Bowie from the I-10). It appears to be unpaved, but is it driveable in a compact 2wd car? No high clearance, no 4wd here.

The road is not paved but in good condition. We traveled the road with our Toyota Camry and did not have any problems. It is a beautiful drive.
