The mountains and towns around the Gila National Forest have a history that dates back to 1270 AD. That’s when the Mogollan culture lived in what is now the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument. Things only get more interesting in the land around Gila National Forest vacation rentals.
In more recent times, mining towns sprang up overnight when huge deposits of silver, copper and other minerals were found. Silver City, one of those old towns, remains the area’s center of attention, with a mention in the book “The 100 Best Art Towns in America.”
From there, many people drive the Inner Loop-Gila Cliff Dwellings Scenic Byway, or they head up U.S. Highway 180 to the Catwalk National Recreation Trail. This unusual trail actually has a catwalk, necessary to travel through a steep, narrow canyon along the cascading Whitewater Creek.
