Gila National Forest and Gila Cliff Dwellings

---

The visit to the Gila National Forest was great!!! We made camp at a cattle watering tank called Gwynn tank. It was a sweet little camp spot that was popular to me when i was hooting for owls a few years back. From there we made multiple trips biking, hiking, and motorbiking throughout the area. We saw all kinds of wildlife. Elk, Turkey, and Coyote were the norm but an interesting little beast was spied on our last day as we were headed out towards Silver City. A really hairy tarantula happened to be crossing the dirt road.
Now i don't normally cringe at insects but this one was different!!
Another spot we visited was the Gila Cliff Dwellings. It was amazing to see how native Indians lived so many years ago!!!
