Gila River Gorge

Approaching the awe inspiring Gila Wilderness area. Gila sits at the same latitude as San Diego! Hot springs, cliff dwellings, 3000 meter mountains, 2 months of torrential thunderstorms, year round rivers and 2200 meters valley elevation means cool temperatures in summer while the surrounding desert bakes.
