Lordsburg

44 66

A GATEWAY TO THE OLD WEST, THE LORDSBURG AREA THRIVED ON MINING IN THE NEARBY HILLS, A STAGEcoach stop on the Butterfield Trail and early railroad services.

It was a stopover for Charles Lindbergh in his Spirit of St Louis and home of the state song written by the blind daughter of famed Sheriff Pat Garrett.

Today, you will want to relive history and the county’s farming and ranching heritage at the Lordsburg Hidalgo Museum, search for historic details in the Lordsburg-Hidalgo Library and visit the fierce old ghost town of Shakespeare.

Southwest of Lordsburg, the arts village of Rodeo showcases the work of local artisans at the Chiricahua Guild and Art Gallery, Roger McKasson’s Studio/Gallery and the Chiricahua Desert Museum. A monument representing Geronimo’s surrender is located just west of town.

Declared an “outstanding natural area for birding habitat,” southwest Hidalgo County hosts species found nowhere else in the United States.

Area Attractions

HISTORY OF THE SILVER CITY AREA SPANS THE ERAS FROM THE ANCIENT MOGOLLON CULTURES TO THE people of today’s technology age. The Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument and visitor center are perhaps the strongest attraction in the area, providing a visual showcase of how these ancients lived. The Mimbres River Valley, though once inhabited by pithouse dwellers is now a scene of orchards, hay fields, cattle and horses. The pride of large-scale mining operations is the Chino open pit copper mine on NM 152.

The 3.3 million acre Gila National Forest provides many of the reasons for both visiting the area and for making a commitment to live here. Lakes in the immediate region include Lake Roberts and Bear Canyon, Bill Evans and Snow Lakes.

Additional attractions include the Catwalk National Recreation Trail and the scenic gold mining ghost town of Mogollon, both near Glenwood, and City of Rocks State Park between Silver City and Deming.

“Over 102 years without a bailout, didn’t need one then, don’t need one now.”

WHEN SILVER CITY’S FOUNDING FATHERS CREATED THE TOWN SITE IN THE LATTER 1800S, THEY LAID OUT THE grid like those of many eastern cities – with the streets running due north, south, east and west. They did not realize that the new town’s proximity to a north/south running slope would encourage a natural disaster to occur.

In 1895 and again in 1903, flash floodwaters roared down Silver City’s Main Street, gouging out a huge ditch with a bottom some 55 feet below the original street level. As rains continued to feed the creek in the years that followed, cottonwood trees grew, providing shade.

The town’s Main Street was gone, but every adversity carries with it the seed of an opportunity. Working together, local businesses, residents and civic organizations created a beautiful and unique downtown park.

Big Ditch Park can be accessed via the footbridge at the Silver City Visitor Center parking lot.

SILVER CITY SPRANG TO 86 LIFE DURING THE SUMMER 140 of 1870. The discovery of silver brought thousands of miners, and merchants followed in their footsteps.

The town's founders decided Silver City would be “built to last.” In 1880, an ordinance was passed requiring masonry construction for new buildings. This left behind solid commercial buildings, brick Victorian homes, and adobe structures.

Devastating floods beetwen 1890 and 1910 washed away the original Main Street and all but one of its handsome brick buildings. The stately Warren house is the sole survivor.

What used to be Main Street is now known as the Big Ditch.

The Silver City Visitor Center and Big Ditch Park provide gateways into Historic Downtown for visitors and residents.

Silver City MainStreet Project has provided comprehensive downtown revitalization services since 1985. This vibrant award-winning district has over 200 entities including retail and service businesses, art studios, government services, nonprofits, churches, and schools. It’s a treasure of a downtown!

By Sarah Gibson LOCATED IN SILVER CITY, WESTERN NEW MEXICO UNIVERSITY (WNMU) WAS FOUNDED IN 1893 AS Normal School and renamed WNMU in 1963. With a culturally diverse population and a student/faculty ratio of 13:1, it offers an excellent education with many unique opportunities.

It has award-winning academic programs including over 8 graduate degree programs, 41 baccalaureate degrees as well as 18 associate and certificate programs. WNMU offers more than 100 classes and 2 complete bachelor degrees online. It has learning centers in Deming, T or C, Gallup and Lordsburg.

WNMU offers several NCAA Division II sports such as basketball, football, volleyball, softball, tennis, cross country and golf. The accredited programs, highly qualified faculty and affordable in-state tuition fees, as well as tuition waivers for students from neighboring states, make WNMU accessible and affordable to all students whether undergraduate, athlete, continuing or part-time students or even distance learners.

LOCATED ON THE EDGE OF TODAY’S GILA WILDERNESS, THE TOWN OF MOGOLLON (PRONOUNCED Muggyown) began in 1876 following the discovery of gold and silver in nearby creeks. It took its name from the surrounding mountains, themselves named for a Spanish territorial governor in the early 1700s. With the opening of the Little Fannie mine, the town boomed until 1942, then suddenly became a ghost town when the mine closed. After a brief resurgence as an artist colony in the 1960s it was deserted again.

Modern-day Mogollon is home to 18 year-round residents, a volunteer fire department, and several seasonal businesses including dining and lodging establishments. It has a private museum, an historic theater and a church undergoing renovation. To visit this picturesque village, turn east off US 180 onto NM Highway 159 about three miles north of Glenwood. The scenic mountain road rises about 3,000 feet in 8.5 miles to reach Mogollon.

National Scenic Byway

THE CATWALK NATIONAL RECREATION TRAIL IS SITUATED IN WHITEWATER CANYON NEAR GLENWOOD. THE Catwalk is a metal bridge secured into the canyon walls that leads through some of the most beautiful parts of the canyon. This 250 foot metal causeway clings to the sides of the boulder-choked Whitewater Canyon, which in some places is only 20 feet wide and 250 feet deep. There are many spots where a hiker can leave the steel causeway and relax on the grassy banks of the sycamore shaded stream.The original catwalk was a gravity fed slurryline for a local mill. The mines above the canyon were worked from their discovery in 1889 until 1942 (Billy the Kid's stepfather, William Antrim, was a blacksmith at the town called Graham). The Civilian Conservation Corps. was assigned the task of rebuilding The Catwalk as a recreation attraction for the Gila National Forest in 1935. The present metal catwalk was rebuilt by the Forest Service in 2004.

Goat milk soaps, lotions, & creams that will leave your skin feeling soft, supple, nourished, & moisturized... guaranteed!!!

THIS 93-MILE LOOP IS FILLED WITH HISTORY AND SCENIC BEAUTY. TO GET STARTED, JUST HEAD NORTH ON PIÑOS Altos Road from US 180 East in Silver City to the old goldmining town of Piños Altos. From there, NM 15 will take you through the Gila National Forest to the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument. Leaving the monument, the byway backtracks along NM 35 to Sapillo Creek and Lake Roberts.

Continuing across the Continental Divide, the road descends into the Mimbres River Valley. The historic church at San Lorenzo was built in the 1800s.

Continuing west on NM 152, you will come to the mine overlook near Santa Rita, where you can view one of the world’s largest open pit copper mines.

Rejoining US 180, you can turn north at Santa Clara to visit historic Fort Bayard, or continue on a short distance back to Silver City.

Safe natural skin care!

WITHOUT THE ASPHALT ON ITS MAIN STREET, DOWNTOWN PINOS ALTOS LOOKS MUCH LIKE IT MIGHT have appeared nearly 150 years ago, when it was inhabited by the likes of Judge Roy Bean. The town’s amenities, however, have greatly improved in the last century or so. They include a museum, an ice cream parlor, dining establishments and an authentic western bar.

Gold was first discovered in the area by Spanish and Mexican miners. Anglos rediscovered the metal in 1859/60, and for a while the town was called Birchville after the first man to find “color.” Nearly abandoned due to constant fights with the Apaches, it was re-established in 1866 under its original Spanish name.

Pinos Altos is located along the Continental Divide, six miles north of Silver City on NM Highway 15.

EVERYONE DREAMS OF FINDING THAT QUIET LITTLE TOWN NESTLED IN THE MOUN- 132 102 tains with a creek running through, the creature comforts a traveler needs, yet retaining a 1950s ambiance.

Those who think it’s only a dream have never stopped over at Glenwood. About 60 miles northwest of Silver City, Glenwood is surrounded by the Gila National Forest. That means plenty of public lands for the adventurous, like the San Francisco Canyon (bass, catfish, hiking and birding) or The Catwalk and its Whitewater Creek (spectacular vistas and the creek is filled with trout). Stop in at the Forest Service Ranger Station for maps and information. A motel and several B & B style inns will put you up comfortably, the general store will keep you supplied, and there is a café/bar that’s plenty “Western”. And on up the road about 8 miles is Alma, last stop on Butch Cassidy’s Outlaw Trail. The iconic bandit worked at the nearby WS Ranch (private) in the 1890s.There is a combo general store/café and you’ll want to explore Mineral Creek, usually dry in town but a forest road takes you upstream to another marvelous canyon and more trout.

Fabulous getaway nestled in the tall pines of Pinos Altos.

Cliff & Gila

37

By Dutch Salmon

STRADDLING THE GILA RIVER, CLIFF ON THE NORTH SIDE AND GILA ON THE SOUTH, THESE TWO SETTLEments together total perhaps 500 habitants and are close enough that the newcomer might see them as blending into one town. Don’t be fooled. Each has its own post office, zip code, and defenders. Cliff has the café, filling station, and school (K-12); Gila has the grocery, feed store, and senior center. Both retain an attachment to a rural ambiance based on irrigation agriculture that is uncommonly lovely, increasingly rare, and takes you back in time as you drive the Gila Valley, upstream or down, on either side of the river. True tales are still told here. Tom Lyons’ LC Ranch, based in Gila, was New Mexico’s largest at 1.5 million acres circa 1900. Along nearby Rain Creek, Carl and Blue Rice killed New Mexico’s last grizzly bear in 1931. Meanwhile, the bucolic agricultural vistas will have you in a reverie of settling down on your own green parcel, with homegrown food, 5 acres, and independence.

SURROUNDED BY THE GILA NATIONAL FOREST, AND FED

BY SAPILLO CREEK, LAKE ROBERTS IS A MAN-MADE 75-acre lake offering some of the finest mountain fishing, boating and camping in New Mexico. Lake Roberts features boat ramps, two campgrounds, picnic spots and a variety of nature trails leading into the forest.

The lake beckons fisherman, hikers and birders to experience the natural beauty of the area. Overlooking the west end of the lake stand the “Vista Ruins,” an authentic Mimbres Indian pit house site.

The area is home to hundreds of species of birds, and is a wintering spot for bald eagles. As many as ten species of hummingbirds may be observed in the summertime at feeding stations along NM Highway 35 and at nearby local inns.

Late March to late May is the best time to fish for the lake’s 10 to 14-inch rainbow trout, but Lake Roberts also contains crappie, catfish and some bass.

Geronimo Monument

By Brett Ferneau

IN OCTOBER 2004 ABOUT 120 PEOPLE GATHERED AT THE GILA CLIFF DWELLINGS NATIONAL MONUMENT Visitor Center to dedicate a monument to famous Chiricahua Apache Chief Geronimo, who was born in the area in 1829.

The monument was a collaborative effort between the Forest Service, the Trail of the Mountain Spirits Scenic Byway Committee, the Silver City/Grant County Chamber of Commerce, and Geronimo’s own great grandson, Harlyn Geronimo and Harlyn’s wife Karen of Mescalero. Harlyn got the idea for the monument while visiting the area in the spring of 2004.

Chief Geronimo had told biographers that he was born near the headwaters of the Gila River, which is the area where the National Monument stands today. Geronimo died in Oklahoma in 1909, after unsuccessfully pleading with federal authorities to be allowed to return to his homeland to die.

THE TOWN OF COLUMBUS AND CAMP FURLONG WERE ATTACKED BY THE MEXICAN REVOLUTIONARY FORCES of General Francisco Villa in 1916. General “Blackjack” Pershing led a punitive force into Mexico in pursuit of the Villistas, but with no success. Using Camp Furlong as a base camp, the Pershing force included the first aircraft used in a military operation, the first use of mechanized trucks by United States troops and the last true cavalry operation. A visitor center includes a replica of the airplanes used and one of the mechanized vehicles.

Rockhound State Park east of Deming is not only a great place to look for crystals, the area includes hiking trails, picnic areas, birding and star gazing. An impressive visitor center provides interactive displays and a desert botanical garden that attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. Spring Canyon, which is included in the State Park, provides an ecosystem that is entirely distinct from the Rockhound area.

City of Rocks State Park

Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument

LOCATED JUST 34 MILES SOUTH OF SILVER CITY, THE CITY OF ROCKS STATE PARK IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR A fun-filled daytrip or picnic with the entire family. The park features giant monoliths that were formed from the eruption of an ancient volcano and eroded by the wind over an extended period of time. These huge, unusually shaped boulders are perfect for sightseeing or climbing.

For some, the park resembles a medieval village; for others it is a collection of misshapen, albeit benign, giants.

Essentially, it is a flat-lying sheet of reddish lava jointed along vertical rather than horizontal planes creating the likeness of a city with streets and buildings. There are formations which readily suggest giants’ chairs, prehistoric monsters, or creatures of imaginative myth.

Complete with a desert garden, the park offers picnicking and camping spots. Adjacent to the formations rises Table Mountain, a perfect example of a mesa.

ONE OF THE ATTRACTIONS ALONG THE TRAIL OF THE MOUNTAIN SPIRITS NATIONAL SCENIC BYWAY IS THE 533-acre Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument. Here you can see the homes and catch a glimpse into the lives of Native Americans who lived here between seven and eight hundred years ago. Along with the ancient ruins, the monument features a visitor center and museum.

From Silver City there are two ways to travel to the monument. The first is to go north past Piños Altos on NM 15, a winding, mountain forest road. Here, trailers over twenty feet long must take an alternate route on NM 61/35.

The other route is through the Mimbres Valley north from NM 152 off US 180 east of town. This route is 25 miles longer, but easier and takes the same amount of time – about two hours. Call ahead for hours and road conditions; (575)536-9461 or (575)536-9344.

THE EPITOME OF THE LATE 1800S MINING ERA, GEORGETOWN BLOSSOMED AND DISAPPEARED WITH the price of silver. Boasting 1200 residents at its peak, the Georgetown Post Office handled local mail from 1875 to 1903.

Clinging to a hillside overlooking the Mimbres River Valley, the town consisted of the usual miners’ shanties, saloons and bawdy houses, but also featured churches, upper and lower public schools, an opera house, literature hall, ice skating rink, community park, several mercantile businesses, butcher shop, a harness shop, and restaurants. The Naiad Queen was the biggest silver producer of the area followed by the McGregor mine located at the site of the current Georgetown Cabins.

Residents experienced problems with Apache renegades and an epidemic that took young lives. Perhaps the best written record of this pre-statehood community is the headstones at nearby Georgetown Cemetery. Only the outlines of a few foundations remain of the townsite.

Bayard, Hurley & Arenas Valley

Five, unique, upscale, getaway vacation, rental cabins, designed for couples.

MINING AND MINERAL PROCESSING HAVE BEEN THE DRIVING FORCES OF BAYARD AND HURLEY SINCE THE early 1900s, while Arenas Valley has developed into a small business district and community midway between the mining district and Silver City. With vistas of the kneeling nun and the mammoth Santa Rita open pit copper mine, as well as the headframes of historic underground mining operations, the area provides visitors visual insights into the state’s richest mineral districts. As the number of people involved in mining operations decreases, the communities are focusing more on their festivals, the arts and the tourism side of the historic mining operations. In the case of Arenas Valley, uncomplicated country living is the predominant draw…and a great little restaurant. Bayard has its coffee and tortilla companies and Hurley boasts a southwest fine arts gallery housed in its historic “company store.” Mining and reclamation still contribute significantly to local economies.

Fort Bayard

35

By Dutch Salmon

NAMED FOR GEN. GEORGE D. BAYARD, AN EARLY-DAY CAVALRY OFFICER AND INDIAN FIGHTER, FORT BAYARD was activated in 1867 and played a major role in the Apache wars. Abandoned as a cavalry post in 1900, it was converted into a State geriatric hospital, a function it still serves today, albeit it is undergoing a facelift and construction of a new central facility. Many of the outlying buildings and original officers’ residences are being preserved for history.

For the recreationist, Ft. Bayard is attached to the Ft. Bayard Game Refuge. Famous for its elk, here are thousands of acres of pine-studded uplands open to hikers and equestrians (no motorized vehicles), where active outdoor types may follow the trails used by the cavalry over 100 years ago.

Find Indian petroglyphs, old homesteads, the State’s largest alligator juniper, and all just 10 miles east of Silver City.

Whether you crave Mexican, Chinese, homemade pizza, burgers or steak, the local restaurants are convenient for visitors and filled with locals who appreciate excellent food and service.

Likewise the galleries and shops provide a major market feel in a small town atmosphere. The arts and crafts are distinctive, clever and absolutely world class. The owners and artists, whether helping the visitor from Baltimore or their neighbor from down the street, care about giving the customer a piece that will enhance that wall at home and make the owner smile with pride. Silver City’s clean air and forest playgrounds, of course, awaken the creative genes (and the appetite for good food)… of visitors and locals alike.

Fort Bayard

35

By Dutch Salmon

NAMED FOR GEN. GEORGE D. BAYARD, AN EARLY-DAY CAVALRY OFFICER AND INDIAN FIGHTER, FORT BAYARD was activated in 1867 and played a major role in the Apache wars. Abandoned as a cavalry post in 1900, it was converted into a State geriatric hospital, a function it still serves today, albeit it is undergoing a facelift and construction of a new central facility. Many of the outlying buildings and original officers’ residences are being preserved for history.

For the recreationist, Ft. Bayard is attached to the Ft. Bayard Game Refuge. Famous for its elk, here are thousands of acres of pine-studded uplands open to hikers and equestrians (no motorized vehicles), where active outdoor types may follow the trails used by the cavalry over 100 years ago.

Find Indian petroglyphs, old homesteads, the State’s largest alligator juniper, and all just 10 miles east of Silver City.

Bayard, Hurley & Arenas Valley

Five, unique, upscale, getaway vacation, rental cabins, designed for couples.

MINING AND MINERAL PROCESSING HAVE BEEN THE DRIVING FORCES OF BAYARD AND HURLEY SINCE THE early 1900s, while Arenas Valley has developed into a small business district and community midway between the mining district and Silver City. With vistas of the kneeling nun and the mammoth Santa Rita open pit copper mine, as well as the headframes of historic underground mining operations, the area provides visitors visual insights into the state’s richest mineral districts. As the number of people involved in mining operations decreases, the communities are focusing more on their festivals, the arts and the tourism side of the historic mining operations. In the case of Arenas Valley, uncomplicated country living is the predominant draw…and a great little restaurant. Bayard has its coffee and tortilla companies and Hurley boasts a southwest fine arts gallery housed in its historic “company store.” Mining and reclamation still contribute significantly to local economies.

THE EPITOME OF THE LATE 1800S MINING ERA, GEORGETOWN BLOSSOMED AND DISAPPEARED WITH the price of silver. Boasting 1200 residents at its peak, the Georgetown Post Office handled local mail from 1875 to 1903.

Clinging to a hillside overlooking the Mimbres River Valley, the town consisted of the usual miners’ shanties, saloons and bawdy houses, but also featured churches, upper and lower public schools, an opera house, literature hall, ice skating rink, community park, several mercantile businesses, butcher shop, a harness shop, and restaurants. The Naiad Queen was the biggest silver producer of the area followed by the McGregor mine located at the site of the current Georgetown Cabins.

Residents experienced problems with Apache renegades and an epidemic that took young lives. Perhaps the best written record of this pre-statehood community is the headstones at nearby Georgetown Cemetery. Only the outlines of a few foundations remain of the townsite.

City of Rocks State Park

Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument

LOCATED JUST 34 MILES SOUTH OF SILVER CITY, THE CITY OF ROCKS STATE PARK IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR A fun-filled daytrip or picnic with the entire family. The park features giant monoliths that were formed from the eruption of an ancient volcano and eroded by the wind over an extended period of time. These huge, unusually shaped boulders are perfect for sightseeing or climbing.

For some, the park resembles a medieval village; for others it is a collection of misshapen, albeit benign, giants.

Essentially, it is a flat-lying sheet of reddish lava jointed along vertical rather than horizontal planes creating the likeness of a city with streets and buildings. There are formations which readily suggest giants’ chairs, prehistoric monsters, or creatures of imaginative myth.

Complete with a desert garden, the park offers picnicking and camping spots. Adjacent to the formations rises Table Mountain, a perfect example of a mesa.

ONE OF THE ATTRACTIONS ALONG THE TRAIL OF THE MOUNTAIN SPIRITS NATIONAL SCENIC BYWAY IS THE 533-acre Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument. Here you can see the homes and catch a glimpse into the lives of Native Americans who lived here between seven and eight hundred years ago. Along with the ancient ruins, the monument features a visitor center and museum.

From Silver City there are two ways to travel to the monument. The first is to go north past Piños Altos on NM 15, a winding, mountain forest road. Here, trailers over twenty feet long must take an alternate route on NM 61/35.

The other route is through the Mimbres Valley north from NM 152 off US 180 east of town. This route is 25 miles longer, but easier and takes the same amount of time – about two hours. Call ahead for hours and road conditions; (575)536-9461 or (575)536-9344.

Geronimo Monument

By Brett Ferneau

IN OCTOBER 2004 ABOUT 120 PEOPLE GATHERED AT THE GILA CLIFF DWELLINGS NATIONAL MONUMENT Visitor Center to dedicate a monument to famous Chiricahua Apache Chief Geronimo, who was born in the area in 1829.

The monument was a collaborative effort between the Forest Service, the Trail of the Mountain Spirits Scenic Byway Committee, the Silver City/Grant County Chamber of Commerce, and Geronimo’s own great grandson, Harlyn Geronimo and Harlyn’s wife Karen of Mescalero. Harlyn got the idea for the monument while visiting the area in the spring of 2004.

Chief Geronimo had told biographers that he was born near the headwaters of the Gila River, which is the area where the National Monument stands today. Geronimo died in Oklahoma in 1909, after unsuccessfully pleading with federal authorities to be allowed to return to his homeland to die.

THE TOWN OF COLUMBUS AND CAMP FURLONG WERE ATTACKED BY THE MEXICAN REVOLUTIONARY FORCES of General Francisco Villa in 1916. General “Blackjack” Pershing led a punitive force into Mexico in pursuit of the Villistas, but with no success. Using Camp Furlong as a base camp, the Pershing force included the first aircraft used in a military operation, the first use of mechanized trucks by United States troops and the last true cavalry operation. A visitor center includes a replica of the airplanes used and one of the mechanized vehicles.

Rockhound State Park east of Deming is not only a great place to look for crystals, the area includes hiking trails, picnic areas, birding and star gazing. An impressive visitor center provides interactive displays and a desert botanical garden that attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. Spring Canyon, which is included in the State Park, provides an ecosystem that is entirely distinct from the Rockhound area.

Cliff & Gila

37

By Dutch Salmon

STRADDLING THE GILA RIVER, CLIFF ON THE NORTH SIDE AND GILA ON THE SOUTH, THESE TWO SETTLEments together total perhaps 500 habitants and are close enough that the newcomer might see them as blending into one town. Don’t be fooled. Each has its own post office, zip code, and defenders. Cliff has the café, filling station, and school (K-12); Gila has the grocery, feed store, and senior center. Both retain an attachment to a rural ambiance based on irrigation agriculture that is uncommonly lovely, increasingly rare, and takes you back in time as you drive the Gila Valley, upstream or down, on either side of the river. True tales are still told here. Tom Lyons’ LC Ranch, based in Gila, was New Mexico’s largest at 1.5 million acres circa 1900. Along nearby Rain Creek, Carl and Blue Rice killed New Mexico’s last grizzly bear in 1931. Meanwhile, the bucolic agricultural vistas will have you in a reverie of settling down on your own green parcel, with homegrown food, 5 acres, and independence.

SURROUNDED BY THE GILA NATIONAL FOREST, AND FED

BY SAPILLO CREEK, LAKE ROBERTS IS A MAN-MADE 75-acre lake offering some of the finest mountain fishing, boating and camping in New Mexico. Lake Roberts features boat ramps, two campgrounds, picnic spots and a variety of nature trails leading into the forest.

The lake beckons fisherman, hikers and birders to experience the natural beauty of the area. Overlooking the west end of the lake stand the “Vista Ruins,” an authentic Mimbres Indian pit house site.

The area is home to hundreds of species of birds, and is a wintering spot for bald eagles. As many as ten species of hummingbirds may be observed in the summertime at feeding stations along NM Highway 35 and at nearby local inns.

Late March to late May is the best time to fish for the lake’s 10 to 14-inch rainbow trout, but Lake Roberts also contains crappie, catfish and some bass.

EVERYONE DREAMS OF FINDING THAT QUIET LITTLE TOWN NESTLED IN THE MOUN- 132 102 tains with a creek running through, the creature comforts a traveler needs, yet retaining a 1950s ambiance.

Those who think it’s only a dream have never stopped over at Glenwood. About 60 miles northwest of Silver City, Glenwood is surrounded by the Gila National Forest. That means plenty of public lands for the adventurous, like the San Francisco Canyon (bass, catfish, hiking and birding) or The Catwalk and its Whitewater Creek (spectacular vistas and the creek is filled with trout). Stop in at the Forest Service Ranger Station for maps and information. A motel and several B & B style inns will put you up comfortably, the general store will keep you supplied, and there is a café/bar that’s plenty “Western”. And on up the road about 8 miles is Alma, last stop on Butch Cassidy’s Outlaw Trail. The iconic bandit worked at the nearby WS Ranch (private) in the 1890s.There is a combo general store/café and you’ll want to explore Mineral Creek, usually dry in town but a forest road takes you upstream to another marvelous canyon and more trout.

Fabulous getaway nestled in the tall pines of Pinos Altos.

WITHOUT THE ASPHALT ON ITS MAIN STREET, DOWNTOWN PINOS ALTOS LOOKS MUCH LIKE IT MIGHT have appeared nearly 150 years ago, when it was inhabited by the likes of Judge Roy Bean. The town’s amenities, however, have greatly improved in the last century or so. They include a museum, an ice cream parlor, dining establishments and an authentic western bar.

Gold was first discovered in the area by Spanish and Mexican miners. Anglos rediscovered the metal in 1859/60, and for a while the town was called Birchville after the first man to find “color.” Nearly abandoned due to constant fights with the Apaches, it was re-established in 1866 under its original Spanish name.

Pinos Altos is located along the Continental Divide, six miles north of Silver City on NM Highway 15.

National Scenic Byway

THE CATWALK NATIONAL RECREATION TRAIL IS SITUATED IN WHITEWATER CANYON NEAR GLENWOOD. THE Catwalk is a metal bridge secured into the canyon walls that leads through some of the most beautiful parts of the canyon. This 250 foot metal causeway clings to the sides of the boulder-choked Whitewater Canyon, which in some places is only 20 feet wide and 250 feet deep. There are many spots where a hiker can leave the steel causeway and relax on the grassy banks of the sycamore shaded stream.The original catwalk was a gravity fed slurryline for a local mill. The mines above the canyon were worked from their discovery in 1889 until 1942 (Billy the Kid's stepfather, William Antrim, was a blacksmith at the town called Graham). The Civilian Conservation Corps. was assigned the task of rebuilding The Catwalk as a recreation attraction for the Gila National Forest in 1935. The present metal catwalk was rebuilt by the Forest Service in 2004.

Goat milk soaps, lotions, & creams that will leave your skin feeling soft, supple, nourished, & moisturized... guaranteed!!!

THIS 93-MILE LOOP IS FILLED WITH HISTORY AND SCENIC BEAUTY. TO GET STARTED, JUST HEAD NORTH ON PIÑOS Altos Road from US 180 East in Silver City to the old goldmining town of Piños Altos. From there, NM 15 will take you through the Gila National Forest to the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument. Leaving the monument, the byway backtracks along NM 35 to Sapillo Creek and Lake Roberts.

Continuing across the Continental Divide, the road descends into the Mimbres River Valley. The historic church at San Lorenzo was built in the 1800s.

Continuing west on NM 152, you will come to the mine overlook near Santa Rita, where you can view one of the world’s largest open pit copper mines.

Rejoining US 180, you can turn north at Santa Clara to visit historic Fort Bayard, or continue on a short distance back to Silver City.

Safe natural skin care!

By Sarah Gibson LOCATED IN SILVER CITY, WESTERN NEW MEXICO UNIVERSITY (WNMU) WAS FOUNDED IN 1893 AS Normal School and renamed WNMU in 1963. With a culturally diverse population and a student/faculty ratio of 13:1, it offers an excellent education with many unique opportunities.

It has award-winning academic programs including over 8 graduate degree programs, 41 baccalaureate degrees as well as 18 associate and certificate programs. WNMU offers more than 100 classes and 2 complete bachelor degrees online. It has learning centers in Deming, T or C, Gallup and Lordsburg.

WNMU offers several NCAA Division II sports such as basketball, football, volleyball, softball, tennis, cross country and golf. The accredited programs, highly qualified faculty and affordable in-state tuition fees, as well as tuition waivers for students from neighboring states, make WNMU accessible and affordable to all students whether undergraduate, athlete, continuing or part-time students or even distance learners.

LOCATED ON THE EDGE OF TODAY’S GILA WILDERNESS, THE TOWN OF MOGOLLON (PRONOUNCED Muggyown) began in 1876 following the discovery of gold and silver in nearby creeks. It took its name from the surrounding mountains, themselves named for a Spanish territorial governor in the early 1700s. With the opening of the Little Fannie mine, the town boomed until 1942, then suddenly became a ghost town when the mine closed. After a brief resurgence as an artist colony in the 1960s it was deserted again.

Modern-day Mogollon is home to 18 year-round residents, a volunteer fire department, and several seasonal businesses including dining and lodging establishments. It has a private museum, an historic theater and a church undergoing renovation. To visit this picturesque village, turn east off US 180 onto NM Highway 159 about three miles north of Glenwood. The scenic mountain road rises about 3,000 feet in 8.5 miles to reach Mogollon.

SILVER CITY SPRANG TO 86 LIFE DURING THE SUMMER 140 of 1870. The discovery of silver brought thousands of miners, and merchants followed in their footsteps.

The town's founders decided Silver City would be “built to last.” In 1880, an ordinance was passed requiring masonry construction for new buildings. This left behind solid commercial buildings, brick Victorian homes, and adobe structures.

Devastating floods beetwen 1890 and 1910 washed away the original Main Street and all but one of its handsome brick buildings. The stately Warren house is the sole survivor.

What used to be Main Street is now known as the Big Ditch.

The Silver City Visitor Center and Big Ditch Park provide gateways into Historic Downtown for visitors and residents.

Silver City MainStreet Project has provided comprehensive downtown revitalization services since 1985. This vibrant award-winning district has over 200 entities including retail and service businesses, art studios, government services, nonprofits, churches, and schools. It’s a treasure of a downtown!

WHEN SILVER CITY’S FOUNDING FATHERS CREATED THE TOWN SITE IN THE LATTER 1800S, THEY LAID OUT THE grid like those of many eastern cities – with the streets running due north, south, east and west. They did not realize that the new town’s proximity to a north/south running slope would encourage a natural disaster to occur.

In 1895 and again in 1903, flash floodwaters roared down Silver City’s Main Street, gouging out a huge ditch with a bottom some 55 feet below the original street level. As rains continued to feed the creek in the years that followed, cottonwood trees grew, providing shade.

The town’s Main Street was gone, but every adversity carries with it the seed of an opportunity. Working together, local businesses, residents and civic organizations created a beautiful and unique downtown park.

Big Ditch Park can be accessed via the footbridge at the Silver City Visitor Center parking lot.

A GATEWAY TO THE OLD WEST, THE LORDSBURG AREA THRIVED ON MINING IN THE NEARBY HILLS, A STAGEcoach stop on the Butterfield Trail and early railroad services.

It was a stopover for Charles Lindbergh in his Spirit of St Louis and home of the state song written by the blind daughter of famed Sheriff Pat Garrett.

Today, you will want to relive history and the county’s farming and ranching heritage at the Lordsburg Hidalgo Museum, search for historic details in the Lordsburg-Hidalgo Library and visit the fierce old ghost town of Shakespeare.

Southwest of Lordsburg, the arts village of Rodeo showcases the work of local artisans at the Chiricahua Guild and Art Gallery, Roger McKasson’s Studio/Gallery and the Chiricahua Desert Museum. A monument representing Geronimo’s surrender is located just west of town.

Declared an “outstanding natural area for birding habitat,” southwest Hidalgo County hosts species found nowhere else in the United States.

Area Attractions

HISTORY OF THE SILVER CITY AREA SPANS THE ERAS FROM THE ANCIENT MOGOLLON CULTURES TO THE people of today’s technology age. The Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument and visitor center are perhaps the strongest attraction in the area, providing a visual showcase of how these ancients lived. The Mimbres River Valley, though once inhabited by pithouse dwellers is now a scene of orchards, hay fields, cattle and horses. The pride of large-scale mining operations is the Chino open pit copper mine on NM 152.

The 3.3 million acre Gila National Forest provides many of the reasons for both visiting the area and for making a commitment to live here. Lakes in the immediate region include Lake Roberts and Bear Canyon, Bill Evans and Snow Lakes.

Additional attractions include the Catwalk National Recreation Trail and the scenic gold mining ghost town of Mogollon, both near Glenwood, and City of Rocks State Park between Silver City and Deming.

“Over 102 years without a bailout, didn’t need one then, don’t need one now.”
