Gila national forest

Gila mountain view

Jimmy and I took a little trip to Gila National Forest. I went there in March last year and fell in love with the scenery. It locates in West of New Mexico and has a lot of strange rock formation.  There are many hot springs there too so maybe the land is volcanic formation…??  Last March when I was there, my friends and I tried to find a hot spring by a river bank.  We got a direction to hot spring at ranger station and it was like this.  “Take trail #38 by the river.  Do 2 river crossing by following the trail. After the second river crossing, find a strange rock formation and dig under the rock.  You will find a hot spring there”.  Usually hot springs are right under the rock already been dug up, but we went there right after the flood and everything was gone.  So we dug up the hot spring.  The hole was too tiny for us to get in but it felt good on my feet.

Another attraction in Gila is a cliff dwelling.  Just amazing human history.

After leaving cliff dwelling, we find a goat that had just gave a birth to baby goat. Placenta is still hanging.
