Trails in our area travel through extreme mountains with breathtaking vistas, into deep canyons with gurgling streams, and through wonderful forests.
They can also lead you across open grasslands, mountains and hills covered with pinon and juniper trees, through sandy dry arroyos.
What's New
More Trail Funding
Funding for front country trail projects in the Gila was secured through the Trails Grant by the National Wilderness Stewardship Alliance
Grant Received
In collaboration with Upper Gila Watershed Alliance (UGWA), we received a grant from the National Forest Foundation to do trail projects in the Gila Wilderness: to prepare for the 100-year anniversary of the Gila Wilderness in 2024.
This grant required a cash match which was made possible by individual donations to Gila BCH. Thank-you donors.

Providing Trail Information
In addition to the equine recommended trail descriptions we had on our website, we are now linked with the Gila Trail Info website that offers updated trail information for all trail users.
