Globe is in Eastern Arizona. It is in Gila County and is the county seat. Globe is set against the background of the Apache Mountains to the northeast and the Pinal Mountains to the south and west. It sits in a steep canyon at the heart of the Tonto National Forest and is six miles east of the town of Miami. The town is located where U.S. Highway 60 and U.S. Highway 70 intersect.

Globe is an old-fashioned western mining town. It is town that began as a silver mine and then exploded into a huge copper mining boomtown. Evidence is plentiful of the early copper and silver mines which were important to this area's history and development. Today mining is still an important part of the local economy. Globe’s current population is 6,500. The town sits at an elevation of 3,500 feet. The climate is mild year round with a winter low temperature of 32 degrees and a summer high temperature of 97 degrees.

Pinal Mountain Counrty Inn is located near the Pinal Mountains next to the Besh-Ba Gowah Salado Indian Ruins. Guests can enjoy both the beautiful Arizona scenery and the vast historical lore of the area. From the ancient Salados at Besh-Ba Gowah to the modern day Apaches, Indian tribes have had an important role in shaping this area. The Apaches, who live on the nearby San Carlos Reservation, are descendants of Geronimo, Cochise and others who made this land their home before the arrival of the white man.

Guests can be easily directed to downtown Globe where an abundance of antique shops, authentic Mexican restaurants, local events, and historical sites can be found. There are several attractions that you must see when you are in town. The Besh-Ba Gowah Archaeological Park Pueblo and Museum is with in walking distance of the Inn. The ruin, museum and visitor center give you a look back in time to a people living in this area before the time of Christopher Columbus.

A historic walking tour of Globe is so much fun. The tour retraces the town’s mining boom and shows what life was like when copper was king.

The second floor has studios and a small theater holds the Copper Cities Community Players. The Gila County Museum has an outstanding collection from the Salado Indians dating back to 1400 A.D. and exhibits showing mining equipment and ranching artifacts. The museum is inside the original rescue and first aid station of the Old Dominion Mine. Free brochures outlining the sites and local tours are available in the Inn's shared living area. From our property the scenic Pinal Mountains are easily accessible for hiking and exploring.
