HISTORY OF THE SILVER CITY AREA SPANS THE ERASFROM THE ANCIENT MOGOLLON CULTURES TO THE people of today’s technology age. The Gila Cliff Dwellings Na-tional Monument and visitor center are perhaps the strongestattraction in the area, providing a visual showcase of how theseancients lived. The Mimbres River Valley, though once inhabitedby pithouse dwellers is now a scene of orchards, hay fields, cat-tle and horses. The pride of large-scale mining operations is theChino open pit copper mine on NM 152.

The 3.3 million acre Gila National Forest provides many ofthe reasons for both visiting the area and for making a com-mitment to live here. Lakes in the immediate region includeLake Roberts and Bear Canyon, Bill Evans and Snow Lakes.Additional attractions include the Catwalk National RecreationTrail and the scenic gold mining ghost town of Mogollon, bothnear Glenwood, and City of Rocks State Park between SilverCity and Deming.

SILVER CITY SPRANG TO LIFE DURING THE SUMMERof 1870. The discovery of silver brought thousands of miners, andmerchants followed in their footsteps. The town's founders decided Silver City would be “built tolast.” In 1880, an ordinance was passed requiring masonryconstruction for new buildings. This left behind solid commer-cial buildings, brick Victorian homes, and adobe structures.Devastating floods between 1890 and 1910 washed away theoriginal Main Street and all but one of its handsome brick build-ings. The stately Warren house is the sole survivor. What usedto be Main Street is now known as the Big Ditch.

The Silver City Visitor Center and Big Ditch Park providegateways into Historic Downtown for visitors and residents. Sil-ver City MainStreet Project has provided comprehensive down-town revitalization services since 1985. This vibrantaward-winning district has over 200 entities including retail andservice businesses, art studios, government services, nonprof-its, churches, and schools. It’s a treasure of a downtown!

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

In 1895 and again in 1903, flash floodwaters roared downSilver City’s Main Street, gouging out a huge ditch with a bot-tom some 55 feet below the original street level. As rainscontinued to feed the creek in the years that followed, cot-tonwood trees grew, providing shade.

The town’s Main Street was gone, but every adversity car-ries with it the seed of an opportunity. Working together, localbusinesses, residents and civic organizations created a beau-tiful and unique downtown park.

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

EXCEPT FOR THE ASPHALT ON ITS MAIN STREET, DOWN-TOWN PINOS ALTOS LOOKS MUCH LIKE IT MIGHT HAVE appeared nearly 150 years ago, when it was inhabited by thelikes of Judge Roy Bean. The town’s amenities, however,have greatly improved in the last century or so. They includea museum, an ice cream parlor, dining establishments andan authentic western bar.

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

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

ONE OF THE ATTRACTIONS ALONG THE TRAIL OF THEMOUNTAIN SPIRITS NATIONAL SCENIC BYWAY IS THE533-acre Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument. Here youcan see the homes and catch a glimpse into the lives ofNative Americans who lived here between seven and eighthundred years ago. Along with the ancient ruins, themonument features a visitor center and museum.

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

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

MINING AND MINERAL PROCESSING HAVE BEEN THEDRIVING FORCES OF BAYARD AND HURLEY SINCE THEearly 1900s, while Arenas Valley has developed into a smallbusiness district and community midway between the miningdistrict and Silver City. With vistas of the kneeling nun andthe mammoth Santa Rita open pit copper mine, as well as theheadframes of historic underground mining operations, thearea provides visitors visual insights into the state’s richestmineral districts. As the number of people involved in miningoperations fluctuates, the communities are focusing more ontheir festivals, the arts and the tourism side of the historicmining operations. In the case of Arenas Valley, uncompli-cated country living is the predominant draw…and a fewunique businesses. Bayard has its coffee and tortilla compa-nies and Hurley boasts a southwest fine arts gallery housedin its historic “company store.” Mining and reclamation stillcontribute significantly to local economies.

LOCATED JUST 34 MILES SOUTH OF SILVER CITY, THE CITYOF ROCKS STATE PARK IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR Afun-filled day trip or picnic with the entire family. The park fea-tures giant monoliths that were formed from the eruption ofan ancient volcano and eroded by the wind over an extendedperiod of time. These huge, unusually shaped boulders areperfect for sightseeing or climbing.

For some, the park resembles a medieval village; for othersit is a collection of misshapen, albeit benign, giants. Essen-tially, it is a flat-lying sheet of reddish lava jointed along verticalrather than horizontal planes creating the likeness of a citywith streets and buildings. There are formations which readilysuggest giants’ chairs, prehistoric monsters, or creatures ofimaginative myth.

Complete with a desert garden, the park offers picnickingand camping spots. Adjacent to the formations rises TableMountain, a perfect example of a mesa.

STRADDLING THE GILA RIVER, CLIFF ON THE NORTH SIDEAND GILA ON THE SOUTH, THESE TWO SETTLE-ments together total perhaps 500 habitants and are closeenough that the newcomer might see them as blending intoone town. Don’t be fooled. Each has its own post office, zipcode, and defenders. Cliff has the café, filling station, andschool (K-12); Gila has the grocery, feed store, and senior cen-ter. Both retain an attachment to a rural ambiance based on ir-rigation agriculture that is uncommonly lovely, increasingly rare,and takes you back in time as you drive the Gila Valley, up-stream or down, on either side of the river. True tales are stilltold here. Tom Lyons’ LC Ranch, based in Gila, was New Mex-ico’s largest at 1.5 million acres circa 1900. Along nearby RainCreek, Carl and Blue Rice killed New Mexico’s last grizzly bearin 1931. Meanwhile, the bucolic agricultural vistas will have youin a reverie of settling down on your own green parcel, withhomegrown food, 5 acres, and independence.

THE CATWALK NATIONAL RECREATION TRAIL IS SITUATEDIN WHITEWATER CANYON NEAR GLENWOOD. THE catwalk is a metal bridge secured into the canyon walls thatleads through some of the most beautiful parts of thecanyon. This 250-foot metal causeway clings to the sides ofthe boulder-choked Whitewater Canyon, which in someplaces is only 20 feet wide and 250 feet deep. There aremany spots where a hiker can leave the steel causeway andrelax on the grassy banks of the sycamore-shaded stream.The original catwalk was a gravity-fed slurry line for a localmill. The mines above the canyon were worked from theirdiscovery in 1889 until 1942 (Billy the Kid’s stepfather,William Antrim, was a blacksmith at the town called Graham).As of April 2013, the steel catwalks are being prepared forre-hanging, so only the sycamore-shaded picnic area and firstquarter mile of trail are open.

Art Galleries

WHILE OUR AREA IS STEEPED IN THE RICH HISTORIES ANDTRADITIONS OF RANCHING AND MINING, IT IS ALSO Aplace of vast cultural diversity. This assertion is demonstrated by the fact that Silver City, Billy the Kid’schildhood hometown, has been named one of the “100Best Art Towns in America” by John Villani in his well-known guidebook of the same title.The arts are aliveand well here, thanks to the promotional efforts of the Mimbres Region Arts Council and the numerous gallerieswith locations stretching from downtown Hurley to downtown Silver City. Every style and type of artworkimaginable is represented here, and many galleries offerthe rare opportunity to meet and talk with the artists themselves. Most of the downtown Silver City galleries areconveniently located within walking distance of each other,as well as numerous other kinds of shops and excellent dining establishments.

Colorful and richly layered watercolorstill life settings with aSouthwestern theme. Represented by Gallery400 on North Arizona St.in historic downtownSilver City.
