Review:
Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument is reached via a 45-mile scenic drive from Silver City, New Mexico.
You can stop at the visitors center before you set off to explore the remarkable cave dwellings that were built by the nomadic Mogollon people in the late 1200s.
You can go on a guided tour of the dwellings at 11 am each day or pick up some info at the visitors center and do a self-guided tour in your own time.
Other activities in the National Monument include hiking and wildlife watching in the Gila and Aldo Leopold Wilderness Areas and visiting some of the natural hot springs in the area, which can be reached along trails starting at the Gila visitors center.
