Gila National Forest

About Gila National Forest

The name Gila National Forest is a combination of the Yuma and Indian words for "Gila" and "Yuma," both meaning "to be in the forest" in southwest New Mexico, for those who want to escape the hectic lifestyle of modern society. Popular theory holds that the word "Gilas" comes from the fact that running water is salty, a typical feature of this part of New York City and other cities.

Each national forest has its own unique beauty, but the beauty of Gila lies in its diversity and diversity of flora and fauna. The height difference is between 4,200 and 10,900 feet and covers four of six residential zones.

Flora and fauna are diverse; junipers, pines, aspens, spruces and fir trees are abundant in the mountains and ocotillo cacti are found at lower altitudes. Gila National Forest has had its share of natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, wildfires and earthquakes. Red-tailed falcons, sea lions, foxes, coyotes and other birds that hover in the wind live there, as do many other species of birds of prey.

I was young and scared at the time, but after seeing the green fire die off, I felt that the wolves on the mountain agreed with my view. Aldo Leopold explains: "An old wolf reached out to me when I saw the fiery green fires dying before his eyes. I believe that wolves are the paradise of hunters, because fewer wolves means more deer, and I am a deer hunter.

Gila National Forest offers beautiful campsites ranging from low to high, from lakes to forests, from primitive to cultivated.
