As Mexico began mining copper in the Silver City area and American settlers arrived from the East, cavalry forts were estab- lished on the trade routes to reduce the conflicts between Apaches and settlers. Ft. Seldon near Las Cruces, Ft. Craig between Socorro and Truth or Consequences, Ft. Webster at Santa Rita and in the Mimbres, and Ft. Bayard near Silver City are among those playing important roles in the late 1800s. Settlers moved along El Camino Real through Socorro, Truth or Consequences and Mesilla and westward along the Butterfield Trail from El Paso and Mesilla, through the Deming and Lordsburg areas to California. Noteworthy Old West characters include Billy the Kid, who was raised in Silver City and first jailed in Mesilla, and Pancho Villa, who attacked the United States at Columbus. Area Apache leaders include Geronimo, Mangas Colorado and Cochise. Elfego Baca made a name for himself by holding off 80 Texas cowboys in Reserve, and Butch Cassidy and his gang hid out for a time near Glenwood. Shakespeare, near Lordsburg, lays claim to a whole host of interesting and unsavory characters including the Clantons, Curley Bill and Russian Bill, just to mention a few. Mesilla served as regional headquarters for the Confederate Army and was the site where the Gadsden Purchase was ratified. Reenactments are scheduled throughout the year at the forts, Mesilla, Shakespeare, Socorro and Ft. Bayard. above: A ceremonial pot from the ancient Mimbres culture on display at the Western New Mexico University Museum in Silver City. Left from top: Early Spanish colonizers followed the Rio Grande valley as it passed from Photo courtesy Keith LeMay present-day El Paso and through Las Cruces, Truth or Consequences, Socorro and on to Santa Fe. San Miguel Mission was originally built by the Spanish in 1598 at Socorro. Cattle were brought to Old West Country in the 1800s and ranching remains a major area industry. Mining ghost town buildings and structures can be found throughout Southwest New Mexico including this old assay building in Kingston. Modern mining on a grand scale near Silver City can be observed at the Santa Rita copper pit, which was initiated by a Spanish soldier in 1803. Right from top: The Silver City Museum is housed in an 1880s Victorian-style home. A bronze sculpture pays tribute to the Buffalo Soldiers stationed at Ft. Seldon north of Las Cruces.

    Recommended Weekend Excursions In New Mexico by newsdesk Camping and Hiking Cimarron Canyon State Park : Set in New Mexico's high country, where spectacular palisade cliffs and clear running waters dominate the landscape, Cimarron Canyon State Park is part of the 33,116-acre Colin Neblett Wildlife Area -- the largest wildlife area in the state. Crenelated granite formations make up sheer palisade cliffs that dominate the park's scenery. You can climb the rocks along the palisades with a special-use permit from the park. From the main canyon, day hikes and cross-country skiing are popular. City of Rocks State Park : Formed of volcanic ash 30 million years ago and sculpted by wind and water into rows of monolithic blocks, City of Rocks State Park takes its name from these incredible rock formations. Cactus gardens and hiking trails add to this unique destination. Heron Lake State Park : A picturesque lake set among tall pines, Heron Lake State Park has been designated a "quiet lake" where boats operate at no-wake speeds only. This park is known for its excellent sailing, fishing, cross-country skiing, and hiking. Several scenic campgrounds line the shore of this scenic lake--primitive and full developed campsites are available for every taste. Access the hiking and fishing trail along the gorgeous Rio Chama from the dramatic caprock stairway near Heron Dam. The 5.5 mile trail which crosses the river by suspension bridge, affords panoramic views and an adventurous route to neighboring El Vado Lake. Rockhound State Park : Located on the rugged west slope of the Little Florida Mountains, Rockhound State Park is a favorite for "rockhounds" because of the abundant agates and quartz crystals found there.

  • New Mexico SCORP Update�
    VÍVA NEW MEXICO A Statewide Plan for Outdoor Adventure Strategic Plan 2016-2020 December 2015 This plan attempts to illustrate the complete picture of outdoor recreation in New Mexico across federal, state, local and private lands. It is not intended to be used solely by State Parks, but rather by all outdoor recreation stakeholders - both public and private - to achieve a common vision: one that improves our state’s economic, physical, and environmental health. The preparation of this plan was financed in part through a planning grant from the National Park Service, United States Department of the Interior, under the provisions of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (Public Law 88-578, as amended). Additional information on the plan can be found at http://www.emnrd.state.nm.us/SPD/scorp/ State of New Mexico Susana Martinez Governor January 6, 2016 Mr. Cameron Sholly Midwest Regional Director National Park Service 601 Riverfront Drive Omaha, NE 68102 Dear Mr. Sholly: I am pleased to present Viva New Mexico: A Statewide Plan for Outdoor Adventure, New Mexico's 2016-2020 Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan. This plan provides a common vision for outdoor recreation providers and residents throughout our state and helps to determine our priorities for outdoor recreation over the next five years. Outdoor recreation is an important asset to the state of New Mexico. It benefits our economy, our health, and our quality of life. New Mexico's unique geography combined with its abundant natural resources and the outdoor recreational opportunities that accompany them are part of the reason New Mexico is known as the "Land of Enchantment." A statewide survey completed for the plan found that 93 percent of adult New Mexicans participate in at least one outdoor recreation activity.

  • River Festival
    Gila Conservation Coalition presents river12th annual festival honoring our heritage: the natural & cultural history of the gila september 22–25, 2016 silver city / gila river gila national forest 575.538.8078 gilaconservation.org river12th annual festival honoring our heritage: the natural & cultural history of the gila Th is year’s centennial of the National Park Service provides an op- portunity to explore the philosophy behind our nation’s accom- plishments in preserving our cultural and natural heritage and to understand future challenges to preserving biologically important landscapes, such as the Gila River watershed, and protecting public lands held in trust for all Americans. Since the painter George Catlin fi rst proposed the idea of “a nation’s park . some great protecting policy” in 1832 in response to western expan- sion and the loss of wild places and their indigenous peoples, the creation of the national parks evolved along with a uniquely American land ethic. Th e Gila Region is a benefi ciary of this preservation movement in Ameri- can history, with creation of the nation’s fi rst wilderness area, the Gila Wilder- ness, and the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument. Looking at the history of resource protection in the Gila Region, the 12th annual Gila River Festival takes inspiration from the National Park Service’s mission “to preserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and val- ues of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations.” IN MEMORIAM: MARTA GREEN November 30, 1945–December 15, 2015 Our dear friend Marta Green passed away in Decem- ber.
