Apache Pass

Apache Pass (named for the Apache people) is a historic passage in the U.S. state of Arizona between the Dos Cabezas Mountains and Chiricahua Mountains, approximately 32 km (20 mi) E-SE of Willcox, Arizona.

A nearby freshwater spring, Apache Spring, was once an important water source for travelers in the desert landscape. The spring was considered such an important resource that the US Army built Fort Bowie there in the 1860s to protect it.

Apache Pass is now located within Fort Bowie National Historic Site.
