About Miami Car Rentals

Miami, Arizona (not Florida — and yes, it gets confused) is the western half of the Globe-Miami mining district, one of the oldest copper-producing regions in the American Southwest. The town fell hard when mining contracted, then quietly rebuilt itself as an antiques-and-art hub — historic main street buildings now house shops, galleries, vintage finds, and small restaurants. The Keystone Stairs (built 1910–1915) still climb the hillside above town, and the Stairizona Trail network lines bridges and stairs with public art murals of poppies, cactus, and Gila monsters. With ItWhip, locals deliver to Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX, ~1 hr 30 min west via US-60) or your stay in Globe (5 min east) or one of the historic Miami Airbnbs. SUVs are popular — the dirt access roads to Tonto National Forest, Roosevelt Lake, the Salt River Canyon, and the Apache Trail (from this side) all benefit from clearance. The Bullion Plaza Cultural Center & Museum (in Miami) tells the mining-town story and the diverse heritage of the area's Mexican-American, Eastern European, and Native communities. 2026 events: Globe-Miami Antique & Vintage Fair (multiple weekends through the year), Cobre Valley Fine Arts Show, Cobre Valley Center for the Arts performances (in the historic 1906 courthouse), Keystone Stairs hill-climb runs, and seasonal events at Bullion Plaza. Driving tip: US-60 between Miami and Globe winds through old mining cuts — slow and scenic. Continuing east, the Salt River Canyon section (sometimes called the 'mini Grand Canyon') is one of Arizona's most spectacular drives.
