GILA
AREA
ATTRACTIONS SILVER CITY BORDERS THE 3.3 MILLION ACRE GILA NATIONAL forest and serves as the hub for a diverse and exciting array of area attractions. Driving the Trail of the Mountain Spirits Scenic Byway is an excellent introduction to the culture and rugged terrain of the region. The loop includes the old west gold mining village of Pinos Altos, the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument, Lake Roberts, Bear Canyon Lake, San Lorenzo Mission (in the lush Mimbres Valley), the Santa Rita open pit copper mine, and the Ft. Bayard National Landmark. Highway 180 West through Cliff and Glenwood offers Bill Evans Lake, the Catwalk National Recreation Trail, and the scenic gold mining ghost town of Mogollon. Highway 180 East accesses the City of Rocks State Park, which will soon be developed as a night skies camping site for stargazing. Hot mineral baths are available near the cliff dwellings and City of Rocks.
CLIFF DWELLINGS
National Monument
ONE OF THE ATTRACTIONS ALONG THE TRAIL OF THE MOUNTAIN SPIRITS Scenic Byway is the 533-acre Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument. Here you can see the homes and catch a glimpse into the lives of Native Americans who lived here between seven and eight hundred years ago. Along with the ancient ruins, the monument features a visitor center and museum. From Silver City there are two ways to travel to the monument. The first is to go north past Piños Altos on NM 15, a winding, mountain forest road. Here, trailers over twenty feet long must take an alternate route on NM 61/35. The other route is through the Mimbres Valley north from NM 152 off US 180 east of town. This route is 25 miles longer, but easier and takes the same amount of time – about two hours. Call ahead for hours and road conditions; (505)536-9461 or (505)536-9344.

GERONIMO
MONUMENT LAST OCTOBER ABOUT 120 PEOPLE GATHERED AT THE GILA CLIFF Dwellings National Monument Visitor Center to dedicate a monument to famous famous Chiricahua Apache chief Geronimo, who was born in the area in 1829. The monument was a collaborative effort between the Forest Service, the Trail of the Mountain Spirits Scenic Byway Committee, the Silver City/Grant County Chamber of Commerce, and Geronimo’s own great grandson, Harlyn Geronimo and Harlyn’s wife Karen of Mescalero. Chief Geronimo had told biographers that he was born near the headwaters of the Gila River, which is the area where the National Monument stands today. Geronimo died in Oklahoma in 1909, after unsuccessfully pleading with federal authorities to be allowed to return to his homeland to die. Harlyn Geronimo got the idea for the monument while visiting the area in the spring of 2004. Volunteers began building it on September 18 as part of the National Public Lands Day event.

CITY OF ROCKS
STATE PARK
LAKE
ROBERTS
LOCATED JUST 34 MILES SOUTH OF SILVER CITY, THE CITY OF ROCKS STATE
SURROUNDED BY THE GILA NATIONAL FOREST, AND FED BY THE SAPILLO
Park is the perfect place for a fun-filled daytrip or picnic. The park features giant monoliths that were formed from the erosion of an ancient volcano and eroded by the wind over an extended period of time. These huge, unusually shaped boulders are perfect for sightseeing or climbing. For some, the park resembles a medieval village; for others it is a collection of misshapen, albeit benign, giants. Essentially, it is a flat-lying sheet of reddish lava jointed along vertical rather than horizontal planes creating the likeness of a city with streets and buildings. There are formations which readily suggest giants’ chairs, prehistoric monsters, or creatures of imaginative myth. Complete with a desert garden, the park offers picnicking and camping spots. Adjacent to the formations rises Table Mountain, a perfect example of a mesa.
Creek, Lake Roberts is a man made 75-acre lake offering some of the finest mountain fishing, boating and camping in New Mexico. Lake Roberts features boat ramps, two campgrounds, picnic spots, and variety of nature trails leading into the forest. The lake beckons fisherman, hikers and birders to experience the natural beauty of the area. Overlooking the west end of the lake stand the “Vista Ruins,” an authentic Mimbres Indian pit house site. The area is home to hundreds of species of birds, and is a wintering spot for bald eagles. As many as ten species of hummingbirds may be observed in the summertime at feeding stations along NM Highway 35 and at nearby local inns. Late March to late May is the best time to fish for the lake’s 10- to 14-inch rainbow trout, but Lake Roberts also contains crappie, catfish and some bass.

TRAIL OF THE
MOUNTAIN SPIRITS
National Scenic By-way
THIS 93-MILE LOOP IS FILLED WITH HISTORY AND SCENIC BEAUTY. TO get started, just head north on Piños Altos Rd. from US 180 East in Silver City to the old gold-mining town of Piños Altos. From there, NM 15 will take you through the Gila National Forest to the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument. Leaving the monument, the byway backtracks along NM 35 to Sapillo Creek and Lake Roberts. Continuing across Continental Divide, the road descends into the Mimbres River Valley. The historic church at San Lorenzo was built in the 1800’s. Continuing west on NM 152, you will come to the mine overlook near Santa Rita, where you can view one of the world’s largest open pit copper mines. Rejoining US 180, you can turn north at Santa Clara to visit historic Fort Bayard, or continue on a short distance back to Silver City.

BIRDING
SIGHTSEEING COMBINE YOUR FASCINATION WITH NATURE’S WINGED POPULATION AND the unforgettable scenic grandeur of Silver City’s rugged back yard. Over 339 species have been spotted in the region’s habitats that vary from riparian lakes, streams and grassy high mesas to the pine, pinion and juniper forests of the Gila. Trails abound and hummingbird banding can be experienced in summer months. Birding areas along the Trail of the Mountain Spirits Scenic Byway include Cherry Creek/McMillan Campgrounds, Signal Peak Road, Gila Cliff Dwellings Nat’l. Mon., Lake Roberts, The Nature Conservancy Nature Preserve and Fort Bayard Historical District. Branching off from the Byway are Iron Creek and Lower Galinas Campgrounds and Emory Pass on NM152. City of Rocks State Park on NM61 is host to grassland birds. A number of species find the dense cottonwood trees of Silver City’s Big Ditch Park attractive, as well as the Gila River/ Mogollon Creek confluence northwest of town near Cliff.

CATWALK
National Recreation Trail
THE CATWALK NATIONAL RECREATION TRAIL IS SITUATED IN WHITEWATER
Canyon near Glenwood. The Catwalk is a metal bridge secured into the canyon walls that leads through some of the most beautiful parts of the canyon. This 250 foot metal causeway clings to the sides of the boulder-choked Whitewater Canyon, which in some places is only 20 feet wide and 250 feet deep. There are many spots where a hiker can leave the steel causeway and relax on the grassy banks of the sycamore shaded stream.The original catwalk was a gravity fed waterline for a local mill. The mines above the canyon were worked from their discover in 1889 until 1942 (Billy the Kid's stepfather, William Antrim, was a blacksmith at the town called Graham). The Civilian Conservation Corps. was assigned the task of rebuilding The Catwalk as a recreation attraction for the Gila National Forest in 1935. The present metal catwalk was rebuilt by the Forest Service in 2004.

THE GROWTH OF SILVER CITY’S ARTS COMMUNITY IS A RESULT OF THE cultural and natural appeal of the area and a concerted effort to diversify the regional economy. The establishment of an art market unique to Silver City is indeed contributing to the economic base. Regular openings, tours, galas, and other special events have dramatically increased local involvement and developed Silver City as an arts destination. The arts play a role in almost every celebration and there are major festivals dedicated specifically to the arts. There is no doubt that art is an integral and key segment of Silver City’s lifestyle. Silver City’s recognition for its cultural depth results from the dedication and organizational expertise of numerous local groups, and the overwhelming volunteer efforts and financial support of the entire community.

THIS 93-MILE LOOP IS FILLED WITH HISTORY AND SCENIC BEAUTY. TO get started, just head north on Piños Altos Rd. from US 180 East in Silver City to the old gold-mining town of Piños Altos. From there, NM 15 will take you through the Gila National Forest to the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument. Leaving the monument, the byway backtracks along NM 35 to Sapillo Creek and Lake Roberts. Continuing across Continental Divide, the road descends into the Mimbres River Valley. The historic church at San Lorenzo was built in the 1800’s. Continuing west on NM 152, you will come to the mine overlook near Santa Rita, where you can view one of the world’s largest open pit copper mines. Rejoining US 180, you can turn north at Santa Clara to visit historic Fort Bayard, or continue on a short distance back to Silver City.

BIRDING
SIGHTSEEING COMBINE YOUR FASCINATION WITH NATURE’S WINGED POPULATION AND the unforgettable scenic grandeur of Silver City’s rugged back yard. Over 339 species have been spotted in the region’s habitats that vary from riparian lakes, streams and grassy high mesas to the pine, pinion and juniper forests of the Gila. Trails abound and hummingbird banding can be experienced in summer months. Birding areas along the Trail of the Mountain Spirits Scenic Byway include Cherry Creek/McMillan Campgrounds, Signal Peak Road, Gila Cliff Dwellings Nat’l. Mon., Lake Roberts, The Nature Conservancy Nature Preserve and Fort Bayard Historical District. Branching off from the Byway are Iron Creek and Lower Galinas Campgrounds and Emory Pass on NM152. City of Rocks State Park on NM61 is host to grassland birds. A number of species find the dense cottonwood trees of Silver City’s Big Ditch Park attractive, as well as the Gila River/ Mogollon Creek confluence northwest of town near Cliff.

CITY OF ROCKS
STATE PARK
LAKE
ROBERTS
LOCATED JUST 34 MILES SOUTH OF SILVER CITY, THE CITY OF ROCKS STATE
SURROUNDED BY THE GILA NATIONAL FOREST, AND FED BY THE SAPILLO
Park is the perfect place for a fun-filled daytrip or picnic. The park features giant monoliths that were formed from the erosion of an ancient volcano and eroded by the wind over an extended period of time. These huge, unusually shaped boulders are perfect for sightseeing or climbing. For some, the park resembles a medieval village; for others it is a collection of misshapen, albeit benign, giants. Essentially, it is a flat-lying sheet of reddish lava jointed along vertical rather than horizontal planes creating the likeness of a city with streets and buildings. There are formations which readily suggest giants’ chairs, prehistoric monsters, or creatures of imaginative myth. Complete with a desert garden, the park offers picnicking and camping spots. Adjacent to the formations rises Table Mountain, a perfect example of a mesa.
Creek, Lake Roberts is a man made 75-acre lake offering some of the finest mountain fishing, boating and camping in New Mexico. Lake Roberts features boat ramps, two campgrounds, picnic spots, and variety of nature trails leading into the forest. The lake beckons fisherman, hikers and birders to experience the natural beauty of the area. Overlooking the west end of the lake stand the “Vista Ruins,” an authentic Mimbres Indian pit house site. The area is home to hundreds of species of birds, and is a wintering spot for bald eagles. As many as ten species of hummingbirds may be observed in the summertime at feeding stations along NM Highway 35 and at nearby local inns. Late March to late May is the best time to fish for the lake’s 10- to 14-inch rainbow trout, but Lake Roberts also contains crappie, catfish and some bass.

GERONIMO
MONUMENT LAST OCTOBER ABOUT 120 PEOPLE GATHERED AT THE GILA CLIFF Dwellings National Monument Visitor Center to dedicate a monument to famous famous Chiricahua Apache chief Geronimo, who was born in the area in 1829. The monument was a collaborative effort between the Forest Service, the Trail of the Mountain Spirits Scenic Byway Committee, the Silver City/Grant County Chamber of Commerce, and Geronimo’s own great grandson, Harlyn Geronimo and Harlyn’s wife Karen of Mescalero. Chief Geronimo had told biographers that he was born near the headwaters of the Gila River, which is the area where the National Monument stands today. Geronimo died in Oklahoma in 1909, after unsuccessfully pleading with federal authorities to be allowed to return to his homeland to die. Harlyn Geronimo got the idea for the monument while visiting the area in the spring of 2004. Volunteers began building it on September 18 as part of the National Public Lands Day event.

GILA
AREA
ATTRACTIONS SILVER CITY BORDERS THE 3.3 MILLION ACRE GILA NATIONAL forest and serves as the hub for a diverse and exciting array of area attractions. Driving the Trail of the Mountain Spirits Scenic Byway is an excellent introduction to the culture and rugged terrain of the region. The loop includes the old west gold mining village of Pinos Altos, the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument, Lake Roberts, Bear Canyon Lake, San Lorenzo Mission (in the lush Mimbres Valley), the Santa Rita open pit copper mine, and the Ft. Bayard National Landmark. Highway 180 West through Cliff and Glenwood offers Bill Evans Lake, the Catwalk National Recreation Trail, and the scenic gold mining ghost town of Mogollon. Highway 180 East accesses the City of Rocks State Park, which will soon be developed as a night skies camping site for stargazing. Hot mineral baths are available near the cliff dwellings and City of Rocks.
CLIFF DWELLINGS
National Monument
ONE OF THE ATTRACTIONS ALONG THE TRAIL OF THE MOUNTAIN SPIRITS Scenic Byway is the 533-acre Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument. Here you can see the homes and catch a glimpse into the lives of Native Americans who lived here between seven and eight hundred years ago. Along with the ancient ruins, the monument features a visitor center and museum. From Silver City there are two ways to travel to the monument. The first is to go north past Piños Altos on NM 15, a winding, mountain forest road. Here, trailers over twenty feet long must take an alternate route on NM 61/35. The other route is through the Mimbres Valley north from NM 152 off US 180 east of town. This route is 25 miles longer, but easier and takes the same amount of time – about two hours. Call ahead for hours and road conditions; (505)536-9461 or (505)536-9344.
