Arizona’s newest urban trail is right here in Globe – a walk that is both invigorating, and inspiring – with artistic murals along staircases that ascend hills above scenic downtown Globe. A choice of routes take you in and around hidden concrete outdoor staircases, through neighborhood pathways, and alongside unique works of art created during the past two years by community volunteers and professional muralists, too. This walk pet-friendly, and truly a superb way to get your kiddos outside for some exercise – but strollers are not recommended.

Want to see photos of both completed murals and the works-in-progress? Like and follow facebook.com/iartglobeaz. Globe’s Stairizona Trail was recently featured in the Arizona Republic, too! Find the article at azcentral.com by searching keywords “globe-az-things-todo/ 69977694007”.
