ROUND MOUNTAIN PARK
City of Globe
Bull's Eye Loop Trail |
In Arizona, where the sun shines almost every day, we really
love our public recreational lands.
Nearly every town with a population over 50 has developed its own trail
system. Even places like Globe--which boasts close access to Tonto National
Forest and the Arizona Trail--have invested in the Grand Canyon State's
obsession with the great outdoors.
The 6.7-mile, six trail system of Round Mountain Park offers pleasant,
family-friendly alternatives to the more remote and difficult (think:
Sixshooter Canyon and Picketpost Mountain) routes in the "Copper
Pinal Mountains viewed from the Boulder Canyon Trail |
A full complement of amenities including restrooms, water,
shaded picnic spots and benches placed at scenic stops along the trails make
for a relaxing day of hiking.
