    The Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument and the surrounding National Forest and Wilderness area offers almost limitless opportunities for the casual hiker or serious backpacker. There are literally hundreds of miles of trails which lead from the edge of the Chihuahuan Desert to the brink of Alpine Tundra, through 4 of earth's 6 life zones.

    Two of the better known trails are the historic one-mile-long Catwalk National Recreation Trail and also a portion of the Continential Divide National Scenic Trail, which stretches along the backbone of America all the way from Canada to Mexico.

    For a map and descriptions of the trails contact the Gila National Forest through the web link below.

     Great page with good tips and photos. Have you seen Montezuma Castle National Monument or the Kinishba Ruins in Arizona?    		mtncorg Wed Sep 27, 2006 17:00 UTC
     This is a little gem of a park hidden away deep within the mountains. A few friends of mine collect county high-points - OK for big States out West, but a little too compulsive for a State like Texas ;-]
