The Gila Cliff Dwellings are very well maintained and interesting to see. You do have a fairly steep ascent, but it is not difficult. You walk thru the ruins on your own with no time constraints. When you get down to the Gila River, there are 3-4 other small dwellings to explore if you are so inclined. I used to live in W. Texas and camped often near the cliff dwellings. It is very peaceful, with lots of deer and turkeys, plus good fly fishing. Take the road from Mimbres to Lake Roberts, and then on up on hwy 15. Lake Roberts also has a couple of USFS campgrounds, a store, and fishing.
