Located
in the heart of the Tonto National Forest in East/Central Arizona,
Globe and it's close neighbor Miami are Old-West
mining towns with spectacular mountain vistas and an ideal
year-round climate.
 Copper
mining, cattle ranching, and tourism are the main economic forces in
the area. Globe boasts a quaint downtown business district with
shops, theaters and restaurants. Outdoor recreation opportunities
abound with fishing and water sports at Roosevelt Lake (25 miles)
and San Carlos Lake (20 miles), white-water rafting on the Salt
River, and hunting on the world famous San Carlos Apache
Reservation.
 Globe/Miami
offers a "small-town" lifestyle, with a relaxed and friendly
atmosphere. Phoenix (80 miles west) and Tucson (100 miles south) are
within easy driving distance for those occasions when the amenities
of a "Big City" are required.
One of the real charms of the community is it's
history. Beginning with the Salado Indians in 1100 A.D. to the
Golden Age of the West from 1870 to 1920 to the present day, Globe
has played a significant role in the History of Arizona. A visit to
the Gila County Historical Museum or the Besh-Ba-Gowa ruins or the
Walking Tour of Historic Downtown Globe will convince any visitor of
what a special place this is.
