Apache Trail Tour Itinerary

Only minutes from the city, the Apache Trail is the perfect way to experience the beauty of the Sonoran desert. Arizona’s first designated “Historic Highway” and a scenic byway, the original Apache Trail was a footpath by which the local Apache Tribe traveled through the Superstition Mountains. Two of the more colorful stops along the Apache Trail are Goldfield Ghost Town and Tortilla Flat.

Explore Goldfield Ghost Town & Tortilla Flat

Goldfield, aptly named after the precious metal found in the area, was incorporated in 1892. For five long years this town was a gold miner’s paradise, however, soon after the vein stopped producing Goldfield quickly turned into a gold mining ghost town. During the tour you will have a chance to spend time in this restored ghost town practicing your gold panning techniques, marveling at the original mining gear, or even spending some time at Lu Lu’s Bordello if you dare.

Tortilla Flat has become a fixture of the Apache Trail since its inception in 1904. Not fire, drought, or bandits could destroy this hearty stage stop which holds onto its rich tradition through its architecture and unique decorating sense. If you get too warm, you can quite literally “saddle up” to the bar and enjoy a cold beverage to cool you down. This rugged landscape in the Sonoran Desert has been the jewel that some men were looking for with the most famous involving the Lost Dutchman Mine. Rumored to have found the largest gold vein in the west, German immigrant Jacob Waltz trusted his newly found gold deposit to no one and the secret of its location was buried with him. If you have the “golden eye” maybe you can spot it while on tour!

Enjoy a Dolly Steamboat Cruise

During your tour along the Apache Trail, you will also be treated to a steamboat cruise on Canyon Lake by the famous Dolly Steamboat. As part of the six mile narrated nature cruise, there may be opportunities to see bighorn sheep, bald eagles, and a host of other desert animals as well as unforgettable views of 1,300 ft. volcanic cliff walls of Canyon Lake.

Apache Wars of the Southwest

When I was young I walked all over this country, east and west, and saw no other people than the Apaches. After many summers I walked again and found another race of people had come to take it. How is it?

– Shi-ka-She or A-da-tli-chi (Cochise), A Chihuicahui of the Chokonen Band

Join us on our Exclusive New Tour! Apache Wars of the Southwest is an unforgettable journey through the scenic Southwest that follows in the footsteps of a cast of remarkable historical characters.

On our exclusive new Apache Wars of the Southwest Tour, author, historian, and television-motion picture consultant John P. Langellier, Ph.D. will tell tales of Cochise, Geronimo, and others based on more than a half-century of dedicated study of these legendary figures and their awesome land.

Experience their lives and discover the diverse cultures found in the tumultuous borderlands running along today’s international boundary between Mexico and the United States. Many peoples from the ancient past to the present have trod this ground. Haunting deserts and majestic mountains will serve as the dramatic backdrop for stories of conflict and ultimate reconciliation after generations of warriors gave way to peacemakers. Return to those exciting days of yesteryear contrasting history versus Hollywood with screenings and discussions of classic film and TV.

You will time-travel to former military garrisons such as El Presidio San Agustín del Tucson, Cochise’s nearly impenetrable stronghold, and the vast White Sands that once formed part of the homeland of the people now popularly referred to as the Apache. During this exceptional adventure, you will overnight in charming inns, hotels, and resorts and sample delectable local cuisine as well be enthralled by the varied vistas the Grand Canyon State and the Land of Enchantment offers.

User reviews rating score:

• El Presidio San Agustín del Tucson Museum: A Spanish colonial garrison demonstration and tour of the museum set the stage for our journey.
• Fort Huachuca Museum: Established in 1877 and nestled in the Whetstone Mountains the post remains as one of the oldest active-duty U.S. Army garrisons west of the Mississippi River.
• Amerind Museum: This treasure situated in the rugged red rocks of Texas Canyon provides a visual reminder of the many peoples who once called the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico home.
• Cochise Stronghold West: Canyons and peaks teemed with game and plants to feed the so-called Chiricahua Apache plus afforded a natural fortress against their enemies.
• Chiricahua National Monument: Breathtaking formations and forests once provided a paradise for the Native Americans who resided amidst the bounty and beauty.   
• Fort Bowie National Historic Site : Crumbling adobes recall the strategic significance of this former frontier fort.
• Lincoln Historic Site: Billy the Kid gained notoriety during the violence that erupted in this New Mexico town as factions vied for contracts to supply the nearby military post and Indian reservation. 
• White Sands National Park: Sparkling white Gypsum dunes edged the traditional hunting and gathering realm of the Mescalero people.
• Mescalero Apache Cultural Center & Museum: This facility offers an intimate look at the people who continue to thrive on their ancestral lands.
• Palace of Governors Museum: A world-class cultural center standing in the heart of Santa Fe’s renowned plaza caps the tour.

Day-By-Day Itinerary

Day 1 welcome.

Flight to Tucson International Airport (TUS). Guests travel independently to the tour hotel. Our first activity is an evening Welcome Reception followed by dinner.

DAY 2 Tucson’s Presidio to Fort Huachuca, Arizona

We begin our journey in Tucson, Arizona to witness the evolution of some of the Southwest’s earliest inhabitants who dwelled in small farming villages along precious waterways that would evolve into the present-day thriving desert metropolis now home to one of the nation’s largest universities.

Our first visit will take place at the Presidio San Agustín del Tucson Museum, a re-creation of the many scattered outposts that once dotted Spain’s New World northern borderlands’ empire. Founded in 1775, the same year that Lieutenant Colonel Juan Bautista de Anza’s expedition passed nearby on its overland trek to establish what became the city of San Francisco in Alta California, this walled fortress stood as a remote bastion against the Apache. We will learn about life in the Santa Cruz Valley for early Native American Indians, Presidio residents, and Territorial period settlers. The archaeological remains of an ancient pit house stand as mute testimony to the longevity of human habitation in the region. Walk along the original Presidio wall and stand within a 150-year-old classic Sonoran Rowhouse.

From there, en route to Fort Huachuca, we stop in Patagonia at Irish-born John Ward’s Ranch. During the early 1860s, a roving band of Apache captured Felix Martinez (aka Mickey Free) an event that triggered one of the longest wars fought by the United States military. Then it’s on to Fort Huachuca for a tour of the museum conducted by a leading authority, ending with a ride along the old parade ground, through the cemetery where Apache Indian scouts who served as a mainstay of military operations during the 1870s through 1890s lay at rest, and drive-by other vestiges of this 145-year-old garrison.  

DAY 3 Chiricahua National Monument, Arizona; Silver City, New Mexico

Our first stop this morning will be the Amerind Museum in Dragoon, Arizona. This institution was started as a labor of love by its founders and seeks to foster and promote knowledge and understanding of the Native Peoples of the Americas through research, education, conservation, and community engagement. Spectacular boulders of Texas Canyon surround the museum, adjacent gallery, and research center dedicated to archaeology, Native cultures, and Western art.

Nearby, Cochise, wise in war and respected in peace, once lived with his people amidst the security of the boulders, canyons, and cliffs that bear his name. Because of its relative remoteness, the Stronghold can be reached only by a narrow, winding unpaved road.

More of the same striking scenery welcomes us to the Chiricahua National Monument. This inspiring “Wonderland of Rocks” also includes a cross-cultural lesson about Apache who thrived here, a military camp manned by buffalo soldiers of the 10 th U.S. Cavalry, and the dream of a transplanted Swedish immigrant—Neil Erickson, who after his stint as a horse soldier in the American Army, established Faraway Ranch. He and his spouse Emma Erickson raised their three children at what became a headquarters for their cattle ranch.

As the day draws down, our final stop in Arizona will be Fort Bowie National Historic Site. After parking the bus in the upper lot, we’ll hike down a meandering dirt trail for nearly a mile, peeling back the modern world to emerge past the old stage stop. Before the Civil War, overland coaches traversing a rugged route from San Antonio, Texas to San Diego, California halted momentarily to exchange teams, feed passengers, and provide a respite before moving on east or west. At first, the conveyances rolled along without incident. With the passage of time, however, the Apache and ever-increasing numbers of newcomers collided particularly as more and more settlers, miners, and ranchers invaded lands of those they called the Chiricahua had long held. Duplicity, misunderstanding, the kidnapping of Felix Martinez, and a series of unfortunate events erupted into a quarter of a century of fierce fighting turning the borderlands into a “vast domain of blood.”  A tour of the ghostly adobe ruins and the visitors center will help unravel the complex clash of cultures that had raged since Spain laid claim to the region, as did Mexico from the 1820s through the early 1850s, followed by civilians and soldiers from the United States.  

Departing Fort Bowie, we leave Arizona for Silver City, New Mexico via Lordsburg. We’ll cross the Continental Divide, skirt the ranch of ill-fated Judge H.C. and Juniata McComas, and drive through the towering walls of one of the largest operational copper mines in the country before checking in to the Art Deco Hotel Murray in the boom-and-bust town of Silver City. The community took its name from one of the minerals that enticed wealth-seekers bent on resting fortunes from the earth for more than a century and a half. The quest for gold, silver and copper came at the expense of the American Indians, who before recorded time considered this countryside their birthright. In fact, somewhere not far to the northwest a member of the Bedonkohe band of the Apache called in his youth Goyaałé (“The One Who Yawns”) was born. He later burst on to the scene becoming better-known from a name given him by interlopers to his place of origin—Geronimo. While uncertain when or exactly where Geronimo was born, some sources say he came from Turkey Creek, a tributary of the Gila River not too distant from Silver City. 

DAY 4 Forts Bayard and Selden, New Mexico and the Land of the Mescalero

Existing structures at Fort Bayard National Landmark reveal little about the post’s past, yet some visitors have deemed the surrounding hills as “eerily beautiful.” The story of the garrison that came into being during 1865 to protect the surrounding mining district unfolds at the nearby Santa Clarita visitors’ center. After orientation, it’s a short jaunt by bus to the museum and national cemetery where burials dating from the earliest forces to staff the fort intermingle with the military dead and their family members from conflicts through the 20 th century and beyond. Two Medal of Honor recipients are among the graves. During its heyday, seven soldiers stationed at Fort Bayard would be recognized with this, the nation’s highest tribute for valor in combat.          

We’ll head east from Fort Bayard to Hatch, New Mexico considered by many as the chile capital of New Mexico. Somewhere in the area, on Christmas Eve, 1853, a site later dubbed Fort Thorn would be occupied by soldiers sent to protect the Santa Rita copper mining operations from Apache raids. In 1889 the flooding Rio Grande washed away any evidence of the buildings which stood “a stone’s throw of the swampiest portion” of the muddy river that provided the fort with its water as well as gave rise to noxious odors and hordes of mosquitos, the then-unknown culprit contributing to high rates of malaria. Within a half dozen years, the army abandoned this “miserable place to live.” By the way, the town’s namesake and its much sought-after crop came from Colonel Edward Hatch, who for more than two decades commanded the 9 th US Cavalry, another buffalo soldier regiment.             

While Fort Thorn disappeared into memory by 1865 a new more than 9,600 military reservation assumed its mission. Fort Selden State Historic Site, a leisurely drive from Hatch, once presented a sprawling compound of adobes resembling a martial village where a hospital, corrals, storehouses, barracks, and officers’ quarters served varying sized garrisons. One of the youths who lived there was Douglas MacArthur, whose father reported with his family in 1884 as an infantry captain and commanding officer. As a lad, Douglas had not yet adopted the stature of the stoic future general that he became. In fact, one afternoon the youngster became so frightened that his shrill scream sent up an alarm. Were the Apache attacking? No, Douglas unexpectedly faced a strange beast—a camel that had survived from an antebellum army experiment to replace horses and mules with these “ships of the desert.” The distressed little boy soon was safe with his mother while a few soldiers evidently sent the dromedary on its way. Details of real bravery can be found in the fort’s visitor center where the deeds of five enlisted men cited for courage in battle earned them Medals of Honor.            

White Sands National Park could be on another planet, and so it has been in more than one science fiction film. Approximately 10,000 years ago the lush grasslands covering this basin attracted the first humans. These nomadic hunters followed herds of mammoths, camels, bison, and other large game that roamed the area. Over millennia the ice sheets melted causing drastic environmental changes forcing the ancient hunters to adapt or die as the dunes formed. Those people who remained began pottery making, built permanent houses, and farmed, staying the course for upwards of 1,200 years when inexplicably they abandoned their homes and fields during the mid-14 th century. At approximately the same time, bands of people whom the Spanish and others referred to as Apaches followed herds of bison from the Great Plains to the Tularosa Basin. They settled from the mountain slopes to mounding dunes where for centuries they fiercely kept out the Spanish and those who came afterwards. Their descendants remain on the Mescalero Indian Reservation maintaining their culture and stunning lands.      

DAY 5 Mescalero Apache Cultural Center & Museum to Santa Fe

After breakfast, we visit the Mescalero Apache Cultural Center & Museum. For 50 years this intimate facility has presented a vivid picture of the Mescalero, Chiricahua, and Lipan Apache People. Ancient stone tools, weapons, clothing, and an impressive collection of beautiful baskets accompanied by a video, and other enriching elements will add to this unique experience.

Fort Stanton State Monument, established in 1855, lays claim to be one of the most intact 19th-century military forts in the country and the best-preserved fort in New Mexico. As an outpost of the Indian Wars and a pawn during the Civil War, over its 160-year history, its walls have stood as silent witnesses to westward expansion, the lawless days of Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War, the tuberculosis epidemic that peaked in the 1920s, the New Deal–era Civilian Conservation Corps, as well as the internment of German civilian sailors during World War II. Fort Stanton’s 12-building parade ground appears much as it did in the late-1800s, making it easy to imagine military life in the Old West. Here, you can also learn about some of the most unusual and little-known chapters in New Mexico's history.

Arguably, had it not been for the lucrative government contracts required to feed the men of the fort and to supply the reservation the brutal fighting in Lincoln County may never have occurred. A short distance from Fort Stanton, Lincoln State Historic Site traces the complex political and economic power struggle, which included actions by the U.S. Army that sometimes fanned the flames rather than helped keep the peace in its capacity as a federal agency dedicated to law and order. We’ll walk the very streets where this tragic event sacrificed lives and ruined or made reputations.      

DAY 6 Santa Fe, New Mexico

Perched at 7,000 feet above sea level in the foothills of the southern Rocky Mountains, Santa Fe is the highest and oldest state capital in the U.S. Founded by the Spanish between 1607 and 1610, Santa Fe also lays claim to be the nation’s second-oldest city. Its existence, however, was challenged during August 1680 when the native peoples rose up during what has come down through history as the “Pueblo Revolt.” That pivotal incident and many more will unfold at the Palace of Governors our first formal stop after a leisurely breakfast. Once we’ve concluded our visit to the Palace and provided with a brief orientation, then you’ll have free time to explore shops, sites such as the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, and have lunch on your own at one of the many choices open to you in the Plaza such as the famed La Plazuela at La Fonda.

At a prearranged hour we’ll regroup and make our way to the Santa Fe Plaza Museum of Indian Arts and Culture. With this last stop, we’ll be off to the host tour hotel where our day will conclude with an early evening farewell group dinner.

The tour officially ends with a morning drop-off at Albuquerque International Sunport, New Mexico (ABQ).

Apache Wars

I just returned from the Apache Wars Tour, and once again Stephen Ambrose Tours did not disappoint. The Tour was everything I had hoped for. I learned so much about the Apache Culture and history, as well as the Spanish presence in the early Southwest. The spots we visited, like Cochise’s stronghold, the many forts, and the fantastic museums were amazing. And what more can I say about Dr. John Langellier. He is the most knowledgeable man on the subject of the Southwest, and never fails to pass on this knowledge to others. I have known John for over a year, and through two tours and he has become a good friend. And our tour coordinator Connie Kennedy was also amazing. she kept things rolling right on schedule, but even more she cared and looked after her guest, as did John.. This tour is a must, as is any tour with John and Connie. Two thumbs up!

The Apache Trail: A Complete Guide

 Haralambos Babaletskos / EyeEm / Getty Images

Things to Do

Tips for visiting, how to get there, apache trail.

Arizona’s Apache Trail is a veritable gold mine (no pun intended) of tourist opportunity. Whether you’re looking for a scenic desert drive, an afternoon out with the kids, or a day at the lake, the Apache Trail offers options.

The historic trail gets its name from the Apache Indians, who originally used the trail to navigate through the Superstition Mountains. It then became a stagecoach route in the early 1900s and now winds its way through both the Superstition Mountains and Tonto National Forest .

The Apache Trail, known more officially as Arizona State Route 88, is a 40-mile drive starting in Apache Junction and ending at Theodore Roosevelt Dam. The road is very winding, with switchbacks and sharp turns, so amateur drivers should take caution. Once you reach the trail's end, you can either turn around and go back the way you came or continue onto the circle route, which takes you back through Globe.

It’s important to note that the trail is only partially paved but well-maintained. Any reliable vehicle should be able to make the drive, but RVs are heavily discouraged beyond Tortilla Flat.

There are multiple scenic stops and fun activities along the 40-mile stretch of the Apache Trail. The drive could be as short as an afternoon outing or a full-day adventure, depending on the stops you choose to make. The following suggestions are in the order in which they appear along the trail.

Goldfield Ghost Town

The first main stop (4.5 miles from Apache Junction) on the Apache Trail is a reconstructed 1890s ghost town. Highlights of Goldfield Ghost Town include tours of the now-defunct gold mine, Old West gunfights, a history museum, panning for gold, a narrow-gauge train, a reptile exhibit, and much more. Some attractions do charge a small fee, but access to the ghost town itself is free. Hungry? Grab a bite to eat before heading on down the trail at the old-timey Mammoth Steakhouse and Saloon.

Lost Dutchman State Park

This 320-acre state park features several great trails into the wilderness surrounding the Superstition Mountains. There is a small entrance fee per car, so bring cash. The park is a popular spot for hiking, camping, and RVs. Lost Dutchman State Park gets its name from a longstanding legend about a lost gold mine within the mountains that was discovered, then lost to time by an infamous “Dutchman.” Even today, treasure hunters continue to scour the Superstitions looking for the lost gold.

Canyon Lake

One of three man-made lakes along the Apache Trail, Canyon Lake is by far the most scenic. It boasts a large marina, sandy beaches, an RV park, and campgrounds. Dramatic red rock cliffs surround the lake—if you keep your eyes peeled, you might spot bighorn sheep or bald eagles. You can rent a boat at the marina or book a ticket on the Dolly Steamboat to tour the lake.

Tortilla Flat

Founded as a stagecoach stop along the Apache Trail in 1904, Tortilla Flat is one town that’s refused to be swept away by the desert sands of time. The stop includes a saloon and restaurant, a country store, and a mercantile shop. The Country Store is known for its prickly pear gelato, and the town boasts of its population—a total of six people. Inexperienced drivers or those not wanting to leave the paved road should turn around here.

Fish Creek Hill

The drive from Tortilla Flat up to the Fish Creek Hill Viewpoint is quite challenging but very scenic. You’ll likely want to stop at the viewpoint for dramatic photos of the Sonoran Desert vistas. Beyond Fish Creek Hill, you’ll start a steep decline down to the canyon floor. RVs and large trailers are strongly discouraged, and this portion of the Apache Trail is not for the faint of heart.

Apache Lake

Less popular than Canyon Lake due to its isolated location, Apache Lake boasts a scenic overlook, fishing, and camping grounds. Because of the difficulty in reaching it, Apache Lake is significantly less crowded than the other lakes along the Apache Trail.

Theodore Roosevelt Dam

This massive cement structure marks the end of the roughly 40-mile journey along the Apache Trail. Originally constructed between 1905 and 1911 to control the flow from the Salt River, Roosevelt Dam was expanded in 1996. It’s here you’ll either turn around and back the way you came via the Apache Trail or head east on Arizona State Route 188 toward Globe.

Tonto National Monument

If you opt to head east along AZ 188 toward Globe at the end of the Apache Trail, you’ll pass Tonto National Monument . Located in Tonto National Forest, the monument features two ancient Native American cliff dwellings dating back 700 years. The Lower Cliff Dwelling is open for viewing year-round and is accessible via a steep, 0.5-mile walk via a paved path. The Upper Cliff Dwelling is accessible only by guided tour from November through April on the weekends. Tonto National Monument charges a $10 entrance fee per person, and children under 16 are free.

• Arguably the best time of year to drive the Apache Trail is in the spring. This is when wildflowers will be the most prevalent (rain permitting), but the trail is open year-round.
• Certain parts of the trail are susceptible to flash flooding, so if inclement weather is in the forecast, it’s recommended you reschedule your visit for another, dryer day.
• The Apache Trail is a major tourist draw, so keep in mind there will be people driving the trail who are unused to the desert terrain and taking in the dramatic scenery perhaps for the first time. Be sure to make use of the viewing points and turn-offs, keeping the road clear. Also, drive with caution throughout the trail. Some portions are quite steep and winding and have cliff drop-offs on one side.
• There is no fee to access AZ 88, and most of the trail attractions are free.
• If you want to bring your boat or other water recreational vehicle, Canyon Lake is the best bet. It has the most facilities and is easily accessible for all types of vehicles and trailers.
• There aren’t any hotels or traditional accommodations along the Apache Trail. There are some amazing campgrounds, however. The nearest hotels can be found in Apache Junction or Globe.

The Apache Trail starts approximately 50 minutes east of downtown Phoenix and just outside the city of Apache Junction. Continuing past the end of the Apache Trail and east onto AZ 188 will take you through the city of Globe and is a 120-mile circle route.

Fond farewell: British Army's Apache Mk1 attack helicopter makes final flight

After years of service, the British Army's Apache Mk1 has made its final flight.

A special flypast over locations across England marked the end of service for the Mk1 with its replacement, the new Apache AH-64E model , bringing new technology and greater capabilities.

People turned out to watch the iconic attack helicopters fly over locations including PJHQ Northwood, RAF Shawbury in Shropshire and the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.

• Last hurrah: British Army's Apache Mk1 helicopter flying its final mission
• Apache: Arming and fuelling one of the most advanced attack helicopters in the world
• This is the British Army's deadly new Apache attack helicopter making its debut in the field

The Apaches did face some delays on the flypast route which included some 15 locations.

They were originally due to arrive back home at Wattisham Airfield in Suffolk for the final time at 17:30.

The Mark 1's  final operational deployment was earlier this month on Operation Clockwork in Norway.

The retirement of the Apache Mk1 marks the end of an era for the British Army after it proved itself to be a battle-winning asset in Afghanistan and Libya.

This final flight and flypast will serve as a fitting farewell to a helicopter that played a significant role in British military history.

See below for more videos from the flypast.

• Azure Data Lake Storage
• Microsoft 365

Microsoft Fabric OneLake will support Apache Iceberg and bi-directional data access between Snowflake and Fabric .

Microsoft is excited to announce an expanded partnership with Snowflake , marking a significant step forward in our commitment to providing customers with a seamless data experience. This will enable bi-directional data access between Snowflake and Microsoft Fabric, ensuring more efficient and flexible data management. 

With the launch of Fabric, we introduced OneLake —a single, unified, software as a service (SaaS) open data foundation, establishing our commitment to open standards. We are now taking our commitment to open standards further by including support for Iceberg, in addition to Delta Lake in Microsoft Fabric OneLake. This means that applications that support Iceberg (including Snowflake) or Delta Lake can interoperate with Fabric . This empowers our customers with diverse environments to work across applications and platforms, with OneLake providing an open data lake foundation for unifying their data estate.

Microsoft Fabric

Reshape how everyone accesses, manages, and acts on data with a single, AI-powered platform

What are we announcing? 

Microsoft and Snowflake are working to enable the following capabilities, which will light up over the coming months: 

• OneLake will support Iceberg, alongside Delta Lake . This will be done using the Apache XTable project that both Microsoft and Snowflake are committed to. 
• Snowflake will be able to store data in Iceberg format in OneLake. 
• Data written by either platform, Snowflake or Fabric, will be available in both Iceberg and Delta Lake formats through XTable translation in OneLake. 
• Snowflake will be able to read any Fabric data artifact in OneLake, stored physically or virtually through shortcuts. 
• Snowflake data items will light up experiences in any of the Fabric engines as well as Microsoft 365 , Microsoft Azure AI Studio , and Copilot for Microsoft 365 . 

What does it mean for you? 

With this integration, you will be able to work with a single copy of your data across Snowflake and Fabric, regardless of whether the data is stored using Delta Lake or Iceberg format. This enables a number of compelling scenarios: 

• Bi-directional data access across Fabric and Snowflake ensures that data can be analyzed across any of the engines in Fabric, or in Snowflake, depending on the customer’s needs.  
• You will also be able to access your data through your favorite apps such as Microsoft 365, Copilot for Microsoft 365, and Studio. 
• With OneLake data accessible in both Snowflake and Fabric, you can reduce the time spent integrating applications and organizing your data estate, reduce the costs of duplicating data across various locations, and dedicate more time to discovering insights. 

“ We’ve heard from many of our mutual customers that they want increased interoperability across Snowflake and Fabric in a seamless, cost-efficient manner. As both Snowflake and Microsoft are firm believers in open standards, we see our joint support for Apache Iceberg as an opportunity to offer customers choice when it comes to how and where they interact with their data .”  —Christian Kleinerman, Executive Vice President of Product at Snowflake  

Unify your data estate 

The rationale behind this expanded partnership is clear: to give our customers an edge in harnessing their digital investments by helping them simplify and unify their data estate with OneLake in Fabric. By combining the strengths of Microsoft Fabric and Snowflake, two leading data platforms, we are further expanding our commitment to open standards , and empowering our customers to do more with their data with the Microsoft Intelligent Data Platform .

Copilot in microsoft fabric is now generally available in the power bi experience.

In the right hands, new innovations have always sparked transformation. From the combustion engine to the creation of the web, these innovations reshaped how we interact with the world around us. And today, we are seeing the next great shift with AI. It’s one of the most exciting innovations of our generation, and its impact is already being felt across individuals, entire teams, and industries. Use cases range from customer service chat to better knowledge mining, to content generation and speech analytics.

One of the biggest opportunities we’re seeing is in accelerating the path to a data-rich culture by enhancing the productivity of your data teams and making analytics more accessible to every user. That’s why we’ve invested heavily in bringing to life Copilot in Microsoft Fabric —an AI experience embedded directly into Microsoft Fabric that can help every user unlock the full potential of their data. We are thrilled to share that Copilot in Fabric is now generally available, starting with the Microsoft Power BI experience.

Elcome, one of the world’s largest marine electronics companies, used Microsoft Fabric and Copilot in Fabric to build a new service called “Welcome” that helps maritime crews stay connected to their families and friends.

“With a three-person development team, we were able to leverage Microsoft Fabric and Copilot to build out an ISP-grade monitoring and management platform that is scalable, flexible, and future-proof. Leveraging Microsoft Fabric and Copilot allows them to focus on customer safety and connectivity while at sea, without having to be data scientists,” said Jimmy Grewal, Managing Director of Elcome.  

Copilot in Fabric is now generally available

With Copilot in Fabric, you can use simple conversational language to integrate, transform, prepare, and visualize your data. In the Power BI experience, Copilot can help you create stunning reports and summarize your insights into narrative summaries in seconds. You can simply provide a high-level prompt, and Copilot in Fabric will create an entire report page for you by identifying the tables, fields, measures, and charts relevant to your prompt and adding visuals that best highlight insights in your data. It’s a fast and easy way to get started with a report.

You can also generate custom summaries and answers to questions about the data visualized across the report , taking analysis from hours or even days down to seconds.   Previously, Copilot could only summarize or answer questions about one page at a time, but we are expanding its capabilities to support full report summaries and questions .

The general availability of Copilot in Fabric for the Power BI workload  will be rolling out over the coming weeks to all customers with Power BI Premium capacity (P1 or higher) or Fabric capacity (F64 or higher) .         

While the report creation experience is now generally available, there are other Copilot experiences in Power BI that are available in preview. For example, the Copilot-powered “Data overview” button in the Explore experience provides a summary of your semantic model to help you get started and can even generate synonyms and linguistic relationships to ready your model for natural language interpretation. You can also use Copilot to help you write and explain DAX queries in the DAX query view. And, when creating a report, you can add the Narrative video to summarize the insights on the report page into a written form—helping you communicate the insights that matter most about the data.

We are also excited to share an expansion of Copilot’s capabilities to answer your data-driven questions. Copilot will not only answer the questions about the visuals on your report pages but can search across the entire semantic model. This feature is available in preview in both edit and view modes in the Power BI service.

The Copilot in Fabric experiences for Data Factory, Data Engineering, Data Science, Data Warehouse, and Real-Time Intelligence are also all still available in preview. Copilot in Fabric is also now enabled on-by-default for all eligible tenants, including the preview experiences.

Create Q&A experiences with AI skills

Model explorer  and dax query view are  now generally available.

We are excited to help analysts work even faster and more effectively by releasing the model explorer into general availability.

The model explorer in the model view in Power BI provides end-to-end visibility of your semantic model in a single tree view, helping you find items in your data fast. With the model explorer, you can find items in the search bar, expand and collapse the tree view, see how many of each item are in your semantic mode, and get a single pane access to create or edit semantic model items. You can also use the model explorer to create calculation groups and reduce the number of measures by reusing calculation logic and simplifying semantic model consumption.

The DAX query view in Power BI Desktop  gives users the ability to write, edit, and see the results of Data Analysis Expressions or DAX queries on data in their semantic model. Similar to the Explore feature, users working with a model can validate data and measures without having to build a visual or use an additional tool. With the DAX query view, you can employ a quick query to preview data or show summary statistics to help you better understand the data without creating visuals or writing a DAX query. You can also see multiple measures at once in the editor, make changes, run the query to rest, and update the model—all from the save view. You can debug visuals by seeing the DAX query used by the visual to get data. And finally, you can create and run your own DAX queries and even define and use measures and variables for that DAX query that do not exist in the model.

• New Copilot in Fabric experience for Real-Time Intelligence, currently in preview, that enables users to explore real-time data with ease. Starting with a Kusto Query Language (KQL) Queryset connected to a KQL Database in an Eventhouse or a standalone Azure Data Explorer database, you can type your question in conversational language and Copilot will automatically translate it to a KQL query you can execute.
• An expansion of our existing partnership with Snowflake to create interoperability between Snowflake and Fabric’s OneLake, including support for the Apache Iceberg standard in OneLake and bi-directional data access. Coming first, you will be able to shortcut data from Snowflake and all Apache Iceberg data sources into OneLake.
• Coming soon, you will be able to access Microsoft Azure Databricks Unity Catalog tables directly in Fabric, making it even easier to unify Azure Databricks with Fabric. Also coming soon, Fabric users will be able to access Fabric data items like lakehouses as a catalog in Azure Databricks.
