With all it has to offer, it is no wonder Silver City, NM, voted one of the 50 best places to live by National Geographic Adventure magazine. Looking for healthy eatery, a new workout routine or a support group? Silver City's got it.

The Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument is about 44 miles (71 km) north of Silver City, via NM 15. At the monument, the remains of Indian inhabitants within five caves in a cliff can be found. They were built sometime between 1275 and 1300 AD by the Mogollon culture. In addition to ancient ruins, there are plenty of places to camp, hike and fish within the Gila Wilderness.
