Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument - Scenic Vistas

Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument by National Parks Service

Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument lies in the middle of the scenic Gila National Forest. State Route 15 winds its way up from Silver City and frequently offers breath-taking vistas interspersed in a lush forest. Isolated Cliff Dweller Canyon, unspoiled by highways or other modern development, offers a glimpse into how the area may have appeared at the time the cliff dwellings were occupied - 700 years ago.
