Bone Town is a climbing area in Arizona, about 7 miles from the town of Troy. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots and short hikes, so it works well as a base for a day of bouldering or a quick outing on foot. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Globe show April highs around 76°F and October highs around 79°F, while July and August average in the mid-90s. Welcome Wall, Slate Nation and Movie Quote Wall, The are all climbing areas within about a tenth of a mile. For an overnight stay, Pioneer Pass Campground is roughly 8 miles away.
