THE GROWTH OF SILVER CITY’S ARTS
COMMUNITY IS A RESULT OF THE
cultural and natural appeal of the area and a
concerted effort to diversify the regional
economy. The establishment of an art market
unique to Silver City is indeed contributing to the economic
base. Regular openings, tours, galas, and other special events
have dramatically increased local involvement and developed
Silver City as an arts destination. The arts play a role in almost
every celebration and there are major festivals dedicated
specifically to the arts. There is no doubt that art is an integral
and key segment of Silver City’s lifestyle.
Silver City’s recognition for its cultural depth results from the
dedication and organizational expertise of numerous local
groups, and the overwhelming volunteer efforts and financial
support of the entire community. The city is proud of its
achievements and is anxious to share them with its visitors from
around the world.

THE
CATWALK
National Recreation Trail
THE CATWALK NATIONAL RECREATION
TRAIL IS SITUATED IN WHITEWATER
Canyon near Glenwood. The Catwalk is a
metal bridge secured into the canyon walls
that leads through some of the most
beautiful parts of the canyon. This 250 foot metal causeway
clings to the sides of the boulder-choked Whitewater
Canyon, which in some places is only 20 feet wide and 250
feet deep. There are many spots where a hiker can leave the
steel causeway and relax on the grassy banks of the sycamore
shaded stream.The original catwalk was a gravity fed
waterline for a local mill. The mines above the canyon were
worked from their discover in 1889 until 1942 (Billy the
Kid's stepfather, William Antrim, was a blacksmith at the
town called Graham). The Civilian Conservation Corps. was
assigned the task of rebuilding The Catwalk as a recreation
attraction for the Gila National Forest in 1935. The present
metal catwalk was rebuilt by the Forest Service in 2004.

HISTORY
MUSEUMS
THE MUSEUMS OF SILVER CITY
SHOWCASE BOTH THE ANCIENT AND
modern histories of the area. The detailed
Victorian design of the H.B. Ailman home,
built in 1881, was saved from destruction by a
group of local individuals who recognized its potential as a
museum. Displays, photographs, and records depict the growth
of the mining and cattle industries, and of the community.
The Western New Mexico University Museum houses the
world’s largest permanent display of ancient Mimbres Indian
artifacts. The museum also features a life-size cutaway replica of
a Mimbres pit house to help visitors visualize homes built by the
native inhabitants 800 to 1100 years ago.
Self-guided walking tours offer an in-depth foundation
about the community. The reconstruction of La Capilla Chapel,
overlooking the downtown district, resurrects an intriguing
chapter of local lore. Even the hundred-year history of the “Big
Ditch” is a factor in defining the community.

TRAIL OF THE
MOUNTAIN SPIRITS
National Scenic By-way
THIS 93-MILE LOOP IS FILLED WITH
HISTORY AND SCENIC BEAUTY. TO
get started, just head north on Piños Altos Rd.
from US 180 East in Silver City to the old
gold-mining town of Piños Altos.
From there, NM 15 will take you through the Gila National
Forest to the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument.
Leaving the monument, the byway backtracks along NM 35 to
Sapillo Creek and Lake Roberts.
Continuing across Continental Divide, the road descends
into the Mimbres River Valley. The historic church at San
Lorenzo was built in the 1800’s.
Continuing west on NM 152, you will come to the mine
overlook near Santa Rita, where you can view one of the
world’s largest open pit copper mines.
Rejoining US 180, you can turn north at Santa Clara to
visit historic Fort Bayard, or continue on a short distance
back to Silver City.

BIRDING
SIGHTSEEING
COMBINE YOUR FASCINATION WITH
NATURE’S WINGED POPULATION AND
the unforgettable scenic grandeur of Silver
City’s rugged back yard. Over 339 species have
been spotted in the region’s habitats that vary
from riparian lakes, streams and grassy high mesas to the pine,
pinion and juniper forests of the Gila. Trails abound and
hummingbird banding can be experienced in summer months.
Birding areas along the Trail of the Mountain Spirits Scenic
Byway include Cherry Creek/McMillan Campgrounds, Signal
Peak Road, Gila Cliff Dwellings Nat’l. Mon., Lake Roberts, The
Nature Conservancy Nature Preserve and Fort Bayard Historical
District. Branching off from the Byway are Iron Creek and Lower
Galinas Campgrounds and Emory Pass on NM152. City of
Rocks State Park on NM61 is host to grassland birds.
A number of species find the dense cottonwood trees of Silver
City’s Big Ditch Park attractive, as well as the Gila River/
Mogollon Creek confluence northwest of town near Cliff.

CITY OF ROCKS
STATE PARK
LAKE
ROBERTS
LOCATED JUST 34 MILES SOUTH OF
SILVER CITY, THE CITY OF ROCKS STATE
SURROUNDED BY THE GILA NATIONAL
FOREST, AND FED BY THE SAPILLO
Park is the perfect place for a fun-filled
daytrip or picnic. The park features giant
monoliths that were formed from the
erosion of an ancient volcano and eroded by the wind over
an extended period of time. These huge, unusually shaped
boulders are perfect for sightseeing or climbing.
For some, the park resembles a medieval village; for
others it is a collection of misshapen, albeit benign, giants.
Essentially, it is a flat-lying sheet of reddish lava jointed
along vertical rather than horizontal planes creating the
likeness of a city with streets and buildings. There are
formations which readily suggest giants’ chairs, prehistoric
monsters, or creatures of imaginative myth.
Complete with a desert garden, the park offers picnicking
and camping spots. Adjacent to the formations rises Table
Mountain, a perfect example of a mesa.
Creek, Lake Roberts is a man made 75-acre
lake offering some of the finest mountain
fishing, boating and camping in New
Mexico. Lake Roberts features boat ramps, two
campgrounds, picnic spots, and variety of nature trails
leading into the forest. The lake beckons fisherman, hikers
and birders to experience the natural beauty of the area.
Overlooking the west end of the lake stand the “Vista
Ruins,” an authentic Mimbres Indian pit house site. The
area is home to hundreds of species of birds, and is a
wintering spot for bald eagles. As many as ten species of
hummingbirds may be observed in the summertime at
feeding stations along NM Highway 35 and at nearby local
inns. Late March to late May is the best time to fish for the
lake’s 10- to 14-inch rainbow trout, but Lake Roberts also
contains crappie, catfish and some bass.

GERONIMO
MONUMENT
LAST OCTOBER ABOUT 120 PEOPLE
GATHERED AT THE GILA CLIFF
Dwellings National Monument Visitor Center
to dedicate a monument to famous famous
Chiricahua Apache chief Geronimo, who was
born in the area in 1829. The monument was a collaborative
effort between the Forest Service, the Trail of the Mountain
Spirits Scenic Byway Committee, the Silver City/Grant County
Chamber of Commerce, and Geronimo’s own great grandson,
Harlyn Geronimo and Harlyn’s wife Karen of Mescalero.
Chief Geronimo had told biographers that he was born near
the headwaters of the Gila River, which is the area where the
National Monument stands today. Geronimo died in
Oklahoma in 1909, after unsuccessfully pleading with federal
authorities to be allowed to return to his homeland to die.
Harlyn Geronimo got the idea for the monument while
visiting the area in the spring of 2004. Volunteers began
building it on September 18 as part of the National Public
Lands Day event.

forest and serves as the hub for a diverse and
exciting array of area attractions. Driving the
Trail of the Mountain Spirits Scenic Byway is
an excellent introduction to the culture and rugged terrain of
the region. The loop includes the old west gold mining village
of Pinos Altos, the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument,
Lake Roberts, Bear Canyon Lake, San Lorenzo Mission (in the
lush Mimbres Valley), the Santa Rita open pit copper mine, and
the Ft. Bayard National Landmark.
Highway 180 West through Cliff and Glenwood offers Bill
Evans Lake, the Catwalk National Recreation Trail, and the
scenic gold mining ghost town of Mogollon. Highway 180 East
accesses the City of Rocks State Park, which will soon be
developed as a night skies camping site for stargazing.
Hot mineral baths are available near the cliff dwellings and
City of Rocks.
CLIFF DWELLINGS
National Monument
ONE OF THE ATTRACTIONS ALONG
THE TRAIL OF THE MOUNTAIN SPIRITS
Scenic Byway is the 533-acre Gila Cliff
Dwellings National Monument. Here you can
see the homes and catch a glimpse into the lives of Native
Americans who lived here between seven and eight hundred
years ago. Along with the ancient ruins, the monument
features a visitor center and museum.
From Silver City there are two ways to travel to the
monument. The first is to go north past Piños Altos on NM
15, a winding, mountain forest road. Here, trailers over twenty
feet long must take an alternate route on NM 61/35.
The other route is through the Mimbres Valley north from
NM 152 off US 180 east of town. This route is 25 miles
longer, but easier and takes the same amount of time – about
two hours. Call ahead for hours and road conditions;
