Gomez Peak is about five minutes north of Silver City. It climbs to 7,238 feet above sea level.
This hike is a demanding with vertical challenges a large part of the way.

Depending on your sightseeing needs, this can be a … (0 comments)

grant county: The Gila Cliff Dwellings - Silver City, NM 88061 - 04/12/10 11:05 AM
The Gila Cliff Dwellings are located 44 miles north of Silver City in the Gila (Hee-la) National Forest. You travel up Highway 15 through a beautiful pine forest with sweeping views.
The Mogollon Indians lived here over 700 years ago. You can actually enter the dwellings, see where they lived, look into some of the structures from above, and explore the cave walls where petroglyphs can be seen. The dwellings were built into cave walls 180 feet above the river floor. You can see the smoke where they had fires, round areas in the floor where they placed their pots, the … (1 comments)

grant county: New Mexico is different - Part 2 - 04/08/10 03:26 PM

grant county: Pretty Scenes in Silver City, NM - 03/30/10 12:49 PM
Today I just want to show you some pretty things in Silver City.
This is an exposed adobe wall. Sometimes you will see them covered with stucco. I like this one showing the adobe brick.
This is a beautiful wood door in a stucco wall surrounding a home. The wall is an example of a covered adobe wall. (In stucco walls such as these, there may be cinder block under the stucco)
The decoration hanging on the door is called a ristra (ree-stra). It is dried red chilis strung together to make … (1 comments)

grant county: This is how it is in Silver City, New Mexico - 03/24/10 11:04 AM
People seem to exaggerate here. I say this with a twinkle in my eye and a wink. The Rio Grande is not that big of a river. Also, when I hear the word monsoon I imagine that it starts raining one day and does not stop for 30-40 days. That's not how it is here. It means the rainy season where clouds build during the day and a part of the area may get a downpour for an hour or two. This happens generally every day for about a month and a half in July and August.
It is a lot … (0 comments)

grant county: History of Silver City - Part 2 - 03/22/10 01:45 PM
At the beginning of the 1900's the area became a haven for tuberculoses sufferers. Sanitariums popped up around the area. One road, currently named Cottage San Road, was the home of one: Cottage Sanitarium. Another Sanitarium was run by the Sisters of Mercy. It is now Fort Bayard, a hospital for patients unable to care for themselves.
Fort Bayard began as a fort to protect the area residents from Indians. The first all-black regimen (the buffalo soldiers), protected the area. The fort has gone through several transitions including being managed by the Surgeon General of the Army, the Veteran's Administration … (0 comments)

grant county: History of Silver City, NM - Part 1 - 03/18/10 12:32 PM
Below is a brief history of our area, intended to give you an idea of how the area developed.
History of Silver City - Part 1
In approximately 1000 A.D., the Mimbreno Indians lived in the area. Many examples of their pottery can be seen at the Silver City Museum. There were also the Mogollon Indians - no visit to this area would be complete without a visit to the Gila Cliff Dwellings where you can learn more about these people. http://www.nps.gov/gicl/
Way back when, the Apache used this area as a camp. Often, Indian artifacts can be found in the … (1 comments)

grant county: Hiking Etiquitte in Silver City, NM - 03/16/10 11:20 AM
I wanted to talk briefly about hiking etiquette. Hikers are really good out here but I figure that it's a good idea to talk about once in a while.
I like to feel like I'm the first one on the land I'm walking so I don't want to see a lot of evidence of other people - - like garbage, fire pits, etc. However, I don't want to go off trail either since that starts the breakdown of the wilderness (stepping on grasses and plants, occasional bushwhacking). That's why we're really careful to hike out everything we hiked in.
We tend … (1 comments)

grant county: Indian Hills Subdivision in Silver City, NM - 03/09/10 05:21 PM
Indian Hills is located north of Highway 180 in an area full of rolling hills. It is just north of the city limits so it is close to town - -which makes it popular. Each lot is at least ½ an acre - -many are 1 acre or more.
Most of the homes that are in the first phase were built in the 1970's - - many have all electric heat - - remember the gas shortage back then? As you get more north into later phases, the houses are newer. Right now, a house can range from $150,000 to $450,000. … (0 comments)
