and the Upper Recreation Site. Drive over to Signal Peak<br />
and through Ferndell before you head back down to Globe.<br />
Both are quite scenic, and the Six Shooter Trail downhill<br />
below Ferndell is less steep than Ice House Canyon.<br />
Photographers take note: aspen groves and maples occur<br />
on the cooler north-facing canyons near the top 1,000<br />
feet of the Pinal Mountain Range, so consider sunlight<br />
and back-lighting when planning your trip. October middays<br />
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. are best for photos on the Ice<br />
House Canyon trail. Arrive much later and you’ll find the<br />
sun has dipped low in the canyon and trees are too backlit<br />
for colorful photography. Maps and hiking trails of the<br />
Pinal Mountain Range can be obtained from the Tonto<br />
National Forest Service Globe Ranger District office;<br />
for details call 928-425-7189 or visit fs.fed.us/r3/tonto.<br />
For a different experience of the Pinals, drive the Forest<br />
Service road that ascends the northeast side of the mountains<br />
to Pioneer Pass. Directions and road conditions are<br />
similar. Drive Hwy. 60 east to Globe; once you reach<br />
town watch for the railroad overpass at the Broad Street<br />
signal light. Turn left on Broad Street, drive through<br />
downtown Globe and follow signs to the Besh Ba Gowah<br />
