Gila Cliff Dwellings / by Dave Hileman

These were a challenge to get to in west central New Mexico but they were so worth the journey. A series of still well preserved dwellings dating from about 1100 dot the rugged cliffs. There is abundant water nearby and small fields were cultivated by these folks but hunting was still the main source of food. Geronimo was born in this area. Maybe in one of these homes in the sides of this rock wall.
