Hot Springs
We are in New Mexico in a small town named Silver City, a silver mining town, thus the name!
We drove about an hour north of the city to see the Gila Cliff Dwellings, lived in by the Mogollon Indians between 1276-1287. A beautiful drive, snow still in the mountains and the river running along the road the whole way. There are hot springs that provide heat for many of the residents in the area. You can also go in the hot springs, but alas, we didn't have our suits!!
It is a 3 mile round trip walk to see the caves. There are 42 well preserved rooms within 5 natural caves. It is also the birthplace of Geronimo. Once again, we have been blessed with beautiful weather.
Happy Trails to you until we meet again..Rob and i are jealous.
