10 Things to do in Silver City That You Shouldn't Miss
As suggested by its name, Silver City began as a mining town at the height of the prospecting boom in the 1800s and has survived a long Wild West history that hosted such notorious notables as Billy the Kid and "Dangerous Dan" Tucker. Evidence of its even earlier history can be seen at the nearby Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument, where ancient homes of the Mongollon Pueblo still stand. Hikers, cyclists and outdoors enthusiasts flock to explore the scenery of the Gila National Forest.

Whether you are in the Gila National Forest to hike, camp, drive, visit the Gila Cliff Dwellings.... take your time and take it all in. It’s worth more than a quick day trip to really experience the wilderness. There are hiking trails for all skill levels and camping in excellent locations. There is limited to zero cellular service, so if this is important to you, be prepared to plan ahead.

Coming from a local resident, this fully restored theater reminds me of going to the old Gila theater of late late 60’s early 70’s. A fun and relaxing way to get away from it all, and awesome popcorn, snacks and staff to boot, one of many Silver City’s and Grant County’s Gems!! Come catch a movie.

Karen Hymer makes Light Art Space a great experience. We have been to Light Art Space a few times over the last two years. Each time, Karen spends time with us talking about the art, how it is made, who the artists are, etc. She shows us around the studio and explains how she creates her pieces. We always enjoy seeing what new art she has, but mostly we enjoy the time we spend with her.
