Summary

Description These Native American ruins are located about 45 twisty miles (at least a 2-hour drive) north of Silver City, NM, in the Gila mountains. There are several adjacent caves located along a 1/2 mile foot path from the parking area. The ruins were carefully restored and are well-maintained. The path is gated off at night, so you won't see any sunrise or sunset shots. I got there just at the 9 am opening so as to get some images without a lot of people in them. I shot the couple here for scale. As I was leaving the parking lot was filling with tour groups. It was Labor Day weekend, after all. BTW, there are a couple of nice National Forest campgrounds just a few miles outside the monument gate, as well as plenty of camping space on the grounds. I spent the night at one of the outside campgrounds.
