Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument

Description

Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument offers a glimpse of the homes and lives of the people of the Mogollon culture who lived in the Gila Wilderness from the 1280s through the early 1300s.

The surroundings are probably looking today very much like they did when the cliff dwellings were inhabited. It is surrounded by the Gila National Forest and is located in the middle of the Gila Wilderness, the nation's first designated wilderness area. Wildernes designation is that the wilderness character of the area will not be altered by the intrusion of roads or other evidence of human presence.
