Numerous trails will lead you into remote areas of the forest. View steep cliffs, towering pine trees and rolling meadows of wildflowers. Watch as deer, elk, antelope and bighorn sheep roam in their natural habitats. You will find numerous picnic grounds and campsites as well as cross-country ski trails in the winter. Downtown Silver City, an historic old west mining town, features turn of the century storefronts and Victorian homes.
Downtown is now the home of numerous art galleries and quaint gift shops.
Silver City's charm lies in its slow pace and small size. It is far enough secluded from the city but is within a day's drive of three metropolitan cities.
