NM-15 into the Gila National Forest is a remote, winding journey. 🏜️ May is ideal for this high-desert ride before the summer monsoons. The curves are tight and the scenery is wild.
📍 Must-Hit Stops:
• Gila Cliff Dwellings: See the 700-year-old homes built into the canyon walls.
• Clinton P. Anderson Overlook: A massive view of the Gila Wilderness.
• Revel (Silver City): A top-tier restaurant in the artsy gateway town of Silver City.
Gas up in Silver City—there are no services once you head into the Gila!
