The Catwalk NM- Things to do in the Gila Mountains

The Catwalk NM- Things to do in the Gila Mountains
We recently traveled back to Albuquerque from Arizona and stopped at the Catwalk Recreation Area near Glenwood New Mexico. Just 65 miles NW of Silver City along highway 180.
This beautiful canyon known as the catwalk was originally explored for mining, and was renovated in the early 1900's by the conservation corps. This is the ideal visit to cool off in the summer, and enjoy the scenery and beautiful color in the fall. This hike takes you along an elevated walkway (catwalk)- overlooking whitewater creek.
Admission is $3 and the National Parks Pass is accepted here. Plan to bring the whole family!

    Wow. Comparing the place in fall to when we filmed our trip there is so different! Those leaves... past peak or not, are still gorgeous! And it looks like you practically had the place to yourself!

    I remember your video when you guys were out there, and I must admit I did watch it again, and it looks so different! Very cool to see it in the different seasons! I can't believe I hadn't been there before. :-)

    The bolts in the rock are to add strength to the rock face so chunks don't fall off.

    Hmm, well we have toured that area before but missed the Catwalk somehow. Well, it's a good reason to go visit again I guess. Thanks for sharing.

    The moment you said catwalk, I went to that techno song “do my little thing on the catwalk…on the catwalk…” with other not so family friendly lyrics. So yeah, that’s a testament to the craziness of the human brain. But this is again awesome desert nature views. Here for it!!

    I have never been to the catwalks and it is a place I really want to visit someday. I appreciate you sharing this area with us. The rain phenomenon is weird and makes me wonder if there is a spring above the canyon hitting some rocks just right. I hope you and your family have a nice thanksgiving. Take care.
