The Mountain Village of Glenwood

Nested along the tranquil San Francisco River in southwest New Mexico, along Highway 180. Glenwood lies on the western edge of the largest wilderness area in America -- the Gila.

Glenwood is the perfect place to relax, take in some spectacular scenery, enjoy a great meal, visit unique gift shops, plus meet some friendly, folksy locals.

Plenty of history here too. Billy the Kid and the Wild Bunch resided in these parts. So did the Apaches. Visit the old grave site of the Cooney -- the Calvary officer who started the mining town of Cooney Town. Gernomino was born just to the east at the headwaters of the Gila.

Walk the famous Catwalk -- a narrow, windy canyon where miners from the late 1800's laid a waterpipe stretching some 2 miles to an old mining operation, now the Catwalk parking lot. Yes, you walk right above the water pipe on a "catwalk". A hike you won't soon forget.

Take a short drive up into the mountains and spend an afternoon walking the streets of the ghost town Mogollon. The old Mogollon hotel greets you upon arrival. Relive America's late 1800's mining history. The Mogollon museum provides great information and artifacts.

Glenwood…plenty to see, plenty to do and a genuine western town experience.
