Give Globe one night, not a trip: pair Besh-Ba-Gowah with downtown Broad Street, then drive on to the Mogollon Rim or Safford.

Not yet checkedSourcesWhat these labels mean

Globe is a 1875 copper-and-silver town on US 60, about 1.5 hours east of Phoenix, with a reconstructed Salado pueblo, a walkable historic downtown and some of the better Mexican food in Arizona. It works as a one-night stop between Phoenix and the White Mountains, not as a destination on its own.

  • North America ↗Crossing between the US, Canada and Mexico by land needs your passport even on a day trip; rental cars need the company's written permission to cross, and most US and Canadian rental insurance stops at the Mexican border.
  • North America ↗Cannabis is legal in Canada and in many US states, but taking any amount across the US, Canadian or Mexican border is a federal crime — including edibles and vapes.
  • North America ↗The busiest US and Canadian national parks need timed-entry, campsite or lodge reservations in summer; release dates are months ahead.
  • United States ↗Check whether you need an ESTA (Visa Waiver Program) or a visa on the official CBP and State Department sites; apply only through esta.cbp.dhs.gov, not third-party sites, and allow time before you book.
  • United States ↗Several popular national parks use timed-entry or vehicle reservations in peak season; check each park's page on nps.gov and book on recreation.gov before fixing your dates.
  • United States ↗Medical care is very expensive for visitors; buy travel insurance with high medical cover before you fly.
  • United States ↗Tipping is expected: about 15–20% at sit-down restaurants and bars, and a tip for taxis, hotel staff and guides.

Getting around

Downtown Globe and downtown Miami are both walkable, but you need a car to move between them and to reach Besh-Ba-Gowah, Copper Hill or the forest. Rental cars are available locally; most travellers arrive with their own vehicle.

Day-trips, door to door

Day-trips

Door-to-door, not ride time

Mogollon Rim

go

Door to door: 1–1.5 h

US 60 west, then AZ-260 or Forest Road 300

Cooler air and rim views; a half-day loop from Globe.

Safford

go

Door to door: 1.5 h

US 70 east through Peridot and Bylas

Mount Graham and the Gila Valley; pairs well as the next overnight.

Morenci

overnight

Door to door: 2.5–3 h

US 70 east, then US 191 south

The huge open-pit mine and the Coronado Trail; too far to return the same day.

Payson

go

Door to door: 1.5 h

AZ-188 north, then AZ-87

Rim country town with a walkable main street; a natural next stop.

Show Low

go

Door to door: 1.75 h

US 60 east through Salt River Canyon

The canyon drive is the point; stop at the overlooks.

Holbrook

caution

Door to door: 2 h

AZ-77 north to AZ-377, then AZ-277

Route 66 town and Petrified Forest gateway; better as an overnight than a day return.

Broad Street / downtown Globe

Walkable to museums, antique shops and restaurants; motels along the strip.

Watch out

Safety

Globe is a small town and violent crime is not the main worry; the real risks are summer heat, long empty drives and unlit roads at night. Lock the car and keep water in it.
  • Summer afternoons above 38 °C (100 °F): do the pueblo and mine sites before 11:00.
  • Copper Hill is reached by a 3-mile dirt road; a low-clearance car is a risk after rain.
  • Cell coverage drops quickly once you leave US 60 toward the forest.
  • Distances between towns are long: fill the tank in Globe before heading east.
