The Gila National Forest includes three wilderness areas for a total of 3.3 million acres. According to the US Forest Service, "The Gila National Forest includes more wilderness than any other national forest in the Southwest. This undeveloped natural country can refresh the human spirit simply by its grandeur, purity, and remoteness." You can find campgrounds as well as plenty of opportunities for backcountry camping. Recently we visited the northwestern part of the Forest, in west central New Mexico, close to the Arizona border. As you can see from these photos, I loved the interesting trees there.
What do you think? Would this landscape inspire you to camp, hike, or at least stop and take a few photos?
