HISTORY OF THE SILVER CITY AREA SPANS THE ERASFROM THE ANCIENT MOGOLLON CULTURES TO THE peo-ple of today’s technology age. The Gila Cliff Dwellings NationalMonument and visitor center are perhaps the strongest attrac-tion in the area, providing a visual showcase of how these an-cients 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, non-profits, churches, and schools. It’s a treasure of a downtown!

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 shadedstream.The original catwalk was a gravity fed slurryline for alocal mill. The mines above the canyon were worked fromtheir discovery in 1889 until 1942 (Billy the Kid's stepfather,William Antrim, was a blacksmith at the town called Gra-ham). The Civilian Conservation Corps. was assigned thetask of rebuilding The Catwalk as a recreation attraction forthe Gila National Forest in 1935. The present metal catwalkwas rebuilt by the Forest Service in 2004.

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.

WITHOUT THE ASPHALT ON ITS MAIN STREET, DOWNTOWNPINOS 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 man tofind “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 or (575)536-9344.

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 offer

the 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.

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 verti-cal rather than horizontal planes creating the likeness of a citywith streets and buildings. There are formations which read-ily suggest giants’ chairs, prehistoric monsters, or creaturesof imaginative myth.

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

ALMOST ANY DRY-LAND ACTIVITY THAT OUTDOOR EN-THUSIASTS PREFER IS LIKELY TO BE FOUND IN ABUNDANCEat New Mexico’s Rockhound State Park. Hiking and picnick-ing: of course. Birding and wildlife observation: a prime spot.Astronomy: the skies are among the ‘darkest’ – that meansthe best – in the country, and the park hosts National PublicObservatory ‘Star Party’ events each year. Desert botany:thanks to the Friends of Rockhound State Park, founded bylate master gardener Jim Brady and his wife MaryKay, visitorscan learn about growing drought-hardy plants in our fragileecosystem, and encouraging habitation by small wildlife suchas hummingbirds and butterflies.

So far, nothing has been said about rocks. RockhoundState Park is also a mineral collector’s paradise, where al-most every visitor is encouraged to dig and carry away up to15 pounds of minerals including gray perlite, thundereggs, ge-odes, jasper, onyx, agate, crystalline rhyolite, Apache tears(obsidian), and quartz crystals. Dealers are excluded.

Rockhound State ParkBy Brett Ferneau Deming

By Brett Ferneau

DEMING HAS COME A LONG WAY SINCE ITS BEGIN-NINGS AS A ROUGH-AND-TUMBLE RAILROAD TOWN INthe old west. Situated 33 miles north of Mexico beneath themajestic Florida Mountains, today’s Deming is rapidly grow-ing, while retaining its friendly small town ambiance. Claimingto be the green chile capitol of the world and the source formost New Mexico wines, Deming also boasts a vibrant artscommunity, unique museums, live music venues, a year-roundgolf course and a host of first-class restaurants. Its recentlyexpanded transit system provides easy, affordable travelaround town and connections to Lordsburg and Silver City.Deming hosts many community events and special occa-sions, such as the famous annual Deming Duck Races andDeming Onion Festival. The city straddles Interstate Highway10. It is a natural rest stop between El Paso, Texas and Tuc-son, Arizona, and a jumping-off point for Rockhound, PanchoVilla and City of Rocks state parks.

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 or (575)536-9344.

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 offer

the 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.

WITHOUT THE ASPHALT ON ITS MAIN STREET, DOWNTOWNPINOS 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 man tofind “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.

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 shadedstream.The original catwalk was a gravity fed slurryline for alocal mill. The mines above the canyon were worked fromtheir discovery in 1889 until 1942 (Billy the Kid's stepfather,William Antrim, was a blacksmith at the town called Gra-ham). The Civilian Conservation Corps. was assigned thetask of rebuilding The Catwalk as a recreation attraction forthe Gila National Forest in 1935. The present metal catwalkwas rebuilt by the Forest Service in 2004.

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, non-profits, churches, and schools. It’s a treasure of a downtown!

HISTORY OF THE SILVER CITY AREA SPANS THE ERASFROM THE ANCIENT MOGOLLON CULTURES TO THE peo-ple of today’s technology age. The Gila Cliff Dwellings NationalMonument and visitor center are perhaps the strongest attrac-tion in the area, providing a visual showcase of how these an-cients 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.
