Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument in Silver City, NM offers visitors the opportunity to explore ancient cliff dwellings and connect with the natural world. The moderately strenuous Cliff Dweller Trail provides access to the dwellings, while the Visitor Center and WNPA bookstore offer additional information and resources for a memorable visit.
Located within the Gila National Forest, the monument is a 44-mile drive from Silver City, taking approximately 1-2 hours due to the mountainous and winding road. Visitors are advised to plan accordingly, wear layers, sturdy shoes, and bring plenty of water for the trail. The Gila and Aldo Leopold Wilderness Areas also provide wilderness experiences, but hikers should be prepared for variable conditions and limited cell phone coverage.
