There are a number of activities available at Gila Cliff Dwellings. Guided tours of the Cliff Dwellings are offered twice daily during the summer and once daily in the winter.  Please note that the tours start at the Cliff Dwellings themselves and it takes about a half hour to walk up to them from the trailhead. Other tours and programs may be offered depending upon staffing availability. Check ahead for times and other activities by calling the Visitor Center at 575-536-9461.

Educational groups should call the visitors center at least two (2) weeks in advance to inquire about a fee waiver.

Hiking in the Gila and Aldo Leopold Wilderness areas are popular activities in the area. Call ahead for weather conditions and backcountry water availability.

There are several popular hot springs in the area. The closest, Lightfeather, is a twenty minute walk from the Visitor Center. The most popular is Jordan, a 6 or 8 mile hike from the Visitor Center, depending upon the trailhead used.
