2006-03-19 Gila Cliff Dwellings-Gila Wilderness 01

As we were getting started this morning, it began snowing on us. We were early for the guided tour, so we took a short 3 mile hike into the Wilderness in snow flurries. We ran into 3 people (one was a teacher on Spring Break) who were backpacking into Bear Canyon and Jordan Hot Springs. There are lots of hikes that we'd love to do, but we don't want to spend too much time in this area now. We'll have to come back another time. We met our guide for the tour of the Cliff Dwellings, a volunteer from Ohio.
