ONE OF THE ATTRACTIONS ALONGTHE TRAIL OF THE MOUNTAINSPIRITS Scenic Byway is the 533-acre GilaCliff Dwellings National Monument. Hereyou can see the homes and catch a glimpse
into the lives of Native Americans who lived here between sevenand eight hundred years ago. Along with the ancient ruins, themonument features a visitor center and museum.
From Silver City there are two ways to travel to themonument. The first is to go north past Piños Altos on NM 15,a winding, mountain forest road. Here, trailers over twenty feetlong must take an alternate route on NM 61/35.
The other route is through the Mimbres Valley north fromNM 152 off US 180 east of town. This route is 25 miles longer,but easier and takes the same amount of time – about twohours. Call ahead for hours and road conditions; (505)536-9461 or (505)536-9344.
GILACLIFF DWELLINGS
National MonumentLOCATED JUST 34 MILES SOUTH OFSILVER CITY, THE CITY OF ROCKS STATEPark is the perfect place for a fun-filleddaytrip or picnic. The park features giantmonoliths that were formed from the
erruption of an ancient volcano and eroded by the windover an extended period of time. These huge, unusuallyshaped boulders are perfect for sightseeing or climbing.
For some, the park resembles a medieval village; forothers it is a collection of misshapen, albeit benign, giants.Essentially, it is a flat-lying sheet of reddish lava jointedalong vertical rather than horizontal planes creating thelikeness of a city with streets and buildings. There areformations which readily suggest giants’ chairs, prehistoricmonsters, or creatures of imaginative myth.
Complete with a desert garden, the park offers picnickingand camping spots. Adjacent to the formations rises TableMountain, a perfect example of a mesa.

THE CATWALK NATIONAL RECREATIONTRAIL IS SITUATED IN WHITEWATERCanyon near Glenwood. The Catwalk is ametal bridge secured into the canyon wallsthat leads through some of the most
beautiful parts of the canyon. This 250 foot metal causewayclings to the sides of the boulder-choked WhitewaterCanyon, which in some places is only 20 feet wide and 250feet deep. There are many spots where a hiker can leave thesteel causeway and relax on the grassy banks of the sycamoreshaded stream.The original catwalk was a gravity fedwaterline for a local mill. The mines above the canyon wereworked from their discover in 1889 until 1942 (Billy theKid's stepfather, William Antrim, was a blacksmith at thetown called Graham). The Civilian Conservation Corps. wasassigned the task of rebuilding The Catwalk as a recreationattraction for the Gila National Forest in 1935. The presentmetal catwalk was rebuilt by the Forest Service in 2004.

GERONIMOMONUMENT
IN OCTOBER 2004 ABOUT 120 PEOPLEGATHERED AT THE GILA CLIFF Dwellings National Monument Visitor Centerto dedicate a monument to famous ChiricahuaApache chief Geronimo, who was born in the
area in 1829. The monument was a collaborative effort betweenthe Forest Service, the Trail of the Mountain Spirits Scenic BywayCommittee, the Silver City/Grant County Chamber ofCommerce, and Geronimo’s own great grandson, HarlynGeronimo and Harlyn’s wife Karen of Mescalero.
Chief Geronimo had told biographers that he was born nearthe headwaters of the Gila River, which is the area where theNational Monument stands today. Geronimo died in Oklahomain 1909, after unsuccessfully pleading with federal authorities tobe allowed to return to his homeland to die.
Harlyn Geronimo got the idea for the monument while visitingthe area in the spring of 2004. Volunteers began building it onSeptember 18 as part of the National Public Lands Day event.

MOGOLLONGHOST TOWN
LOCATED ON THE EDGE OF TODAY’SGILA WILDERNESS, THE TOWN OFMogollon (pronounced Muggy-own) beganin 1876 following the discovery of gold andsilver in nearby creeks. It took its name from
the surrounding mountains, themselves named for a Spanishterritorial governor in the early 1700s.
With the opening of the Little Fannie mine, the townboomed until 1942, then suddenly became a ghost townwhen the mine closed. After a brief resurgence as an artistcolony in the 1960s it was deserted again.
Modern-day Mogollon is home to 18 year-roundresidents, a volunteer fire department, and several seasonalbusinesses including dining and lodging establishments. Ithas a private museum, an historic theater and a churchundergoing renovation. To visit this picturesque village, turneast off US 180 onto NM Highway 159 about three milesnorth of Glenwood. The scenic mountain road rises about3,000 feet in 8.5 miles to reach Mogollon.

WITHOUT THE ASPHALT ON ITS MAINSTREET, DOWNTOWN PINOS ALTOSlooks much like it might have appearednearly 150 years ago, when it was inhabitedby the likes of Judge Roy Bean.
The town’s amenities, however, have greatly improved inthe last century or so. They include a museum, an ice creamparlor, dining establishments and an authentic western bar.The Pinos Altos Opera House is home to Old Westmelodramas, and local musicians perform regularly at theBuckhorn Saloon.
Gold was first discovered in the area by Spanish andMexican miners. Anglos rediscovered the metal in1859/60, and for a while the town was called Birchvilleafter the first man to find “color.” Nearly abandoned due toconstant fights with the Apaches, it was re-established in1866 under its original Spanish name.
Pinos Altos is located along the Continental Divide, sixmiles north of Silver City on NM Highway 15.
THE MUSEUMS OF SILVER CITYSHOWCASE BOTH THE ANCIENT ANDmodern histories of the area. The detailedVictorian design of the H.B. Ailman home,built in 1881, was saved from destruction by a
group of local individuals who recognized its potential as amuseum. Displays, photographs, and records depict the growthof the mining and cattle industries, and of the community.
The Western New Mexico University Museum houses theworld’s largest permanent display of ancient Mimbres Indianartifacts. The museum also features a life-size cutaway replica ofa Mimbres pit house to help visitors visualize homes built by thenative inhabitants 800 to 1100 years ago.
Self-guided walking tours offer an in-depth foundationabout the community. The reconstruction of La Capilla Chapel,overlooking the downtown district, resurrects an intriguingchapter of local lore. Even the hundred-year history of the “BigDitch” is a factor in defining the community.
-THE GROWTH OF SILVER CITY’S ARTSCOMMUNITY IS A RESULT OF THEcultural and natural appeal of the area and aconcerted effort to diversify the regionaleconomy. The establishment of an art market
unique to Silver City is indeed contributing to the economicbase. Regular openings, tours, galas, and other special eventshave dramatically increased local involvement and developedSilver City as an arts destination. The arts play a role in almostevery celebration and there are major festivals dedicatedspecifically to the arts. There is no doubt that art is an integraland key segment of Silver City’s lifestyle.
Silver City’s recognition for its cultural depth results fromthe dedication and organizational expertise of numerous localgroups, and the overwhelming volunteer efforts and financialsupport of the entire community. The city is proud of itsachievements and is anxious to share them with its visitors fromaround the world.
GALLERIES&SHOPPING
WHEN SILVER CITY’S FOUNDINGFATHERS CREATED THE TOWN SITE inthe latter 1800s, they laid out the grid likethose of many eastern cities – with the streetsrunning due north, south, east and west. They
did not realize that the new town’s proximity to a north/southrunning slope would encourage a natural disaster to occur.
In 1895 and again in 1903, flash floodwaters roared downSilver City’s Main Street, gouging out a huge ditch with abottom some 55 feet below the original street level. As rainscontinued to feed the creek in the years that followed,cottonwood trees grew, providing shade.
The town’s Main Street was gone, but every adversity carrieswith it the seed of an opportunity. Working together, localbusinesses, residents and civic organizations created a beautifuland unique downtown park.
Big Ditch Park can be accessed via the footbridge at theSilver City Visitor Center parking lot.

-THE GROWTH OF SILVER CITY’S ARTSCOMMUNITY IS A RESULT OF THEcultural and natural appeal of the area and aconcerted effort to diversify the regionaleconomy. The establishment of an art market
unique to Silver City is indeed contributing to the economicbase. Regular openings, tours, galas, and other special eventshave dramatically increased local involvement and developedSilver City as an arts destination. The arts play a role in almostevery celebration and there are major festivals dedicatedspecifically to the arts. There is no doubt that art is an integraland key segment of Silver City’s lifestyle.
Silver City’s recognition for its cultural depth results fromthe dedication and organizational expertise of numerous localgroups, and the overwhelming volunteer efforts and financialsupport of the entire community. The city is proud of itsachievements and is anxious to share them with its visitors fromaround the world.
GALLERIES&SHOPPING
WHEN SILVER CITY’S FOUNDINGFATHERS CREATED THE TOWN SITE inthe latter 1800s, they laid out the grid likethose of many eastern cities – with the streetsrunning due north, south, east and west. They
did not realize that the new town’s proximity to a north/southrunning slope would encourage a natural disaster to occur.
In 1895 and again in 1903, flash floodwaters roared downSilver City’s Main Street, gouging out a huge ditch with abottom some 55 feet below the original street level. As rainscontinued to feed the creek in the years that followed,cottonwood trees grew, providing shade.
The town’s Main Street was gone, but every adversity carrieswith it the seed of an opportunity. Working together, localbusinesses, residents and civic organizations created a beautifuland unique downtown park.
Big Ditch Park can be accessed via the footbridge at theSilver City Visitor Center parking lot.

WITHOUT THE ASPHALT ON ITS MAINSTREET, DOWNTOWN PINOS ALTOSlooks much like it might have appearednearly 150 years ago, when it was inhabitedby the likes of Judge Roy Bean.
The town’s amenities, however, have greatly improved inthe last century or so. They include a museum, an ice creamparlor, dining establishments and an authentic western bar.The Pinos Altos Opera House is home to Old Westmelodramas, and local musicians perform regularly at theBuckhorn Saloon.
Gold was first discovered in the area by Spanish andMexican miners. Anglos rediscovered the metal in1859/60, and for a while the town was called Birchvilleafter the first man to find “color.” Nearly abandoned due toconstant fights with the Apaches, it was re-established in1866 under its original Spanish name.
Pinos Altos is located along the Continental Divide, sixmiles north of Silver City on NM Highway 15.
THE MUSEUMS OF SILVER CITYSHOWCASE BOTH THE ANCIENT ANDmodern histories of the area. The detailedVictorian design of the H.B. Ailman home,built in 1881, was saved from destruction by a
group of local individuals who recognized its potential as amuseum. Displays, photographs, and records depict the growthof the mining and cattle industries, and of the community.
The Western New Mexico University Museum houses theworld’s largest permanent display of ancient Mimbres Indianartifacts. The museum also features a life-size cutaway replica ofa Mimbres pit house to help visitors visualize homes built by thenative inhabitants 800 to 1100 years ago.
Self-guided walking tours offer an in-depth foundationabout the community. The reconstruction of La Capilla Chapel,overlooking the downtown district, resurrects an intriguingchapter of local lore. Even the hundred-year history of the “BigDitch” is a factor in defining the community.

MOGOLLONGHOST TOWN
LOCATED ON THE EDGE OF TODAY’SGILA WILDERNESS, THE TOWN OFMogollon (pronounced Muggy-own) beganin 1876 following the discovery of gold andsilver in nearby creeks. It took its name from
the surrounding mountains, themselves named for a Spanishterritorial governor in the early 1700s.
With the opening of the Little Fannie mine, the townboomed until 1942, then suddenly became a ghost townwhen the mine closed. After a brief resurgence as an artistcolony in the 1960s it was deserted again.
Modern-day Mogollon is home to 18 year-roundresidents, a volunteer fire department, and several seasonalbusinesses including dining and lodging establishments. Ithas a private museum, an historic theater and a churchundergoing renovation. To visit this picturesque village, turneast off US 180 onto NM Highway 159 about three milesnorth of Glenwood. The scenic mountain road rises about3,000 feet in 8.5 miles to reach Mogollon.
THE CATWALK NATIONAL RECREATIONTRAIL IS SITUATED IN WHITEWATERCanyon near Glenwood. The Catwalk is ametal bridge secured into the canyon wallsthat leads through some of the most
beautiful parts of the canyon. This 250 foot metal causewayclings to the sides of the boulder-choked WhitewaterCanyon, which in some places is only 20 feet wide and 250feet deep. There are many spots where a hiker can leave thesteel causeway and relax on the grassy banks of the sycamoreshaded stream.The original catwalk was a gravity fedwaterline for a local mill. The mines above the canyon wereworked from their discover in 1889 until 1942 (Billy theKid's stepfather, William Antrim, was a blacksmith at thetown called Graham). The Civilian Conservation Corps. wasassigned the task of rebuilding The Catwalk as a recreationattraction for the Gila National Forest in 1935. The presentmetal catwalk was rebuilt by the Forest Service in 2004.

GERONIMOMONUMENT
IN OCTOBER 2004 ABOUT 120 PEOPLEGATHERED AT THE GILA CLIFF Dwellings National Monument Visitor Centerto dedicate a monument to famous ChiricahuaApache chief Geronimo, who was born in the
area in 1829. The monument was a collaborative effort betweenthe Forest Service, the Trail of the Mountain Spirits Scenic BywayCommittee, the Silver City/Grant County Chamber ofCommerce, and Geronimo’s own great grandson, HarlynGeronimo and Harlyn’s wife Karen of Mescalero.
Chief Geronimo had told biographers that he was born nearthe headwaters of the Gila River, which is the area where theNational Monument stands today. Geronimo died in Oklahomain 1909, after unsuccessfully pleading with federal authorities tobe allowed to return to his homeland to die.
Harlyn Geronimo got the idea for the monument while visitingthe area in the spring of 2004. Volunteers began building it onSeptember 18 as part of the National Public Lands Day event.

GILACLIFF DWELLINGS
National MonumentLOCATED JUST 34 MILES SOUTH OFSILVER CITY, THE CITY OF ROCKS STATEPark is the perfect place for a fun-filleddaytrip or picnic. The park features giantmonoliths that were formed from the
erruption of an ancient volcano and eroded by the windover an extended period of time. These huge, unusuallyshaped boulders are perfect for sightseeing or climbing.
For some, the park resembles a medieval village; forothers it is a collection of misshapen, albeit benign, giants.Essentially, it is a flat-lying sheet of reddish lava jointedalong vertical rather than horizontal planes creating thelikeness of a city with streets and buildings. There areformations which readily suggest giants’ chairs, prehistoricmonsters, or creatures of imaginative myth.
Complete with a desert garden, the park offers picnickingand camping spots. Adjacent to the formations rises TableMountain, a perfect example of a mesa.
