Gila National Forest Tours and Activities

Quemado (burnt) Lake in central New Mexico is a relatively quiet recreation area with dropping water levels that have restored boat use, which is a gain for hikers who like to peacefully trek its 1.2 mile perimeter.

The San Francisco River winds through this bend. A 3.5 mile hike (round trip) drops you into the valley to play in numerous hot springs that feed into the river. Beautiful in the springtime!

Caterpillars! These webbed wombs contain hundreds of emerging caterpillars along the river's edge in springtime.

We were so pleased the minute we got to the hotel. Checking in was so pleasant and the room was beautiful. It was clean and our stay was very pleasant. Close to all the shopping, we will definitely go back and stay there.

The room was okay but lots of noise. Also we were not aware that you allowed dogs in the hotel. We had reserved rooms for our family who has allergies
