Gila National Forest and the Gila Cliff Dwellings
Fancy a trip to SouthWest America? Then head over to Gila National Forest. The Gila National Forest has more official wilderness than any other protected forest in the Southwest.

The Gila Wilderness connects the Blue Range Wilderness and the Aldo Leopold Wilderness. The Gila Cliff dwellings, built as far back as the 13th century, are located within the Gila National Forest.
For thousands of years, groups of ancient nomads used the caves above the Gila River as a temporary shelter. Until the late 1200s, when the people of the agricultural Mogollon culture made it their homes. They built rooms, crafted pottery, and raised children in the cliff dwellings for one or two generations before moving away by 1300.
