Cool road trip on to the Gila Cliff Dwellings.

What an awesome place!

They say......

Welcome to Gila Cliff Dwellings

Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument offers a glimpse into the homes and lives of the Mogollon people who lived in this area over 700 years ago.


Gila National Forest

The monument is surrounded by the Gila National Forest and lies within the rugged Gila Wilderness, the nation's first wilderness area. The wilderness designation means that the wilderness character of the area will not be altered by the intrusion of roads or other evidence of human presence.

There was a gal that was volunteering at the entrance to the dwellings. Her husband was up at the dwellings. It was their 2nd season there. They were from Chicago.

On the way up there are benches to rest on.
They are up there!
Water!
