Besh-ba-Gowah Archeological Park
Festival of Lights
Do you enjoy luminarias? You have probably never seen them quite like this - perched atop the walls of a restored 12th Century Salado Indian pueblo, lighting the trails as you stroll amidst the ancient ruins while Native American flute music echoes nearby.
Staff and volunteers begin lighting the 1,600 luminarias at 5 p.m. and entertainment begins around 5:30 p.m. The park closes at 8:30p.m., and admission is waived during this event. Weather permitting, all performances will be in the central plaza - lit (and warmed!) by a bonfire. Refreshments provided. For more information call Besh-ba-Gowah at 928.425.0320. FREE event.
High above the Cobre Valley in the shadow of the Old Dominion mine, The Noftsger Hill Inn stands - a monolithic monument to miner, academic, and architect. This majestic building filled with rustic elegance and framed by mining era houses reigns peacefully over Globe, Arizona.
The front rooms provide a panoramic view of the ruggedly beautiful Pinal Mountains. Rear rooms face the Old Dominion Mine, offering a picturesque view of historic mining operations.
Elementary school classrooms in a previous era, guest rooms today are unusually spacious, each with a sitting area and private bath - some with a fireplace. The guest rooms are carefully appointed with our private collection of mining era antiques and art. Original chalkboards in the guest rooms are "decorated" with comments from past guests.
Take a nap in the open and airy surroundings or enjoy reading a book in quiet solitude. For a romantic interlude, snuggle up by the fireplace with a loved one and spend time reminiscing about why you fell in love.
Classrooms provide a perfect work environment for business travelers requiring a well lit work space and the convenience of complimentary wireless internet access.
