Gila Cliff Dwellings • Mogollon Culture • New Mexico

Mogollon Culture At The Gila Cliff Dwellings
Near Silver City New Mexico
For thousands of years, groups of nomadic people used the caves of the Gila River as temporary shelter. In the late 1200's, people of the Mogollon Culture decided it would be a good place to call home. They built rooms, crafted pottery and raised children in the cliff dwellings for about twenty years. Then the Mogollon moved on, leaving the walls for us as a glimpse into the past.
Nobody knows where they came from and no one knows where they went.
Discovered by the white man in the 1800's.
Tomb Raiders/Thieves stole all the artifacts before the archeologists could do their work.
Its a long trek, 40 miles up a ridiculous dangerous winding road, 2 hour travel time more impressive than the Grand Canyon - well more personal anyway.
