The Gila Wilderness is located in southwest New Mexico, north of Silver City and east of Reserve. It contains the West Fork, Middle Fork and much of the East Fork of the Gila River; riverside elevations of around 4,850 feet (1,480m) are the lowest in the wilderness. The Mogollon Mountains traverse an arc across the wilderness. The tallest peak within this range, Whitewater Baldy at 10,895ft (3,321m), is in the northwest part of the wilderness along with several other summits more than 10,000ft (3,048m) high. At the northeast corner is prominent Black Mountain rising to at 9,287ft (2,831m). The Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument is adjacent to the wilderness.
The Last Solitude: Gila Wilderness | ¡COLORES! NMPBS

Backpacking The Gila Wilderness - Middle Fork West Fork Loop
This was a 6 day backpacking trip in New Mexico's Gila Wilderness in June of 2019 - involving the middle fork and west fork of the Gila River. On days 1 & 2 I travel up the middle fork of the Gila River to The Meadows. On day 3 I climb up the mesa to ponderosa pine country, visit Prior Cabin, climb to the top of Jackson Mesa and camp at Lilly Park. On Day 4 I drop down into the west fork of the Gila River and travel along the river for another couple days before completing the loop at the Gila Cliff Dwellings.
I was impressed and taken with the Gila Wilderness. It holds a diverse array of river canyons with perennial flowing water, towering golden spires and deep canyon walls. Up above are ponderosa forests, grassland parks, sub-alpine mountains and stunning vistas. I hope you enjoy.

https://youtu.be/t2CQVz23PHQ
This is a ten day solo backpacking trip in the Gila Wilderness of New Mexico. My first time there. I started by hiking up the Middle Fork of the Gila River, visited Jordan Hot Springs, and the Meadows. I climbed up to the plateau top and made my way to Lilly Park, briefly in and out of the West Fork, then thru open Ponderosa Forests for a few days over to Little Creek and Granite Peak. I then followed the West Fork of the Gila River back to the road to finish the loop.

Gila Wilderness Backpacking Trip, March, 2021
Zach and spent a few days backpacking in the Gila Wilderness. We originally planned for 4 days, thinking the distance was a little over 40, but it was actually quite a bit shorter and the hiking was pretty fast so we ended up knocking it out in 3 days. We hiked up the West Fork of the Gila River then up and over the plateau and then down the Middle Fork. If you map out our route it is about 34. I downloaded someone else's GPX file that put it at 42. Our GPS put it at 38. I guess being in the canyon with 1000 foot walls on either side messed with the GPS a little. None the less, great trip, great scenery. Surprised to see a couple bald eagles. I'm guessing we had close to 100 water crossings. We saw some people wearing sandals, and some trail runners.
