Maybe head up to the Gila wilderness first before any shutdown deadline, then stay at the rocks later.
Is this snow country in January? It was snowing in Silver City when we were there this time last year.
Gila Nat'l Forest and Gila Cliff Dwellings Nat' Monument are also government. It's higher elevation than Silver City so yes, it could snow.
City of Rocks is a neat campground. There's also Rockhound State Park south of Deming. Deming has an awesome museum on 'everything' and well organized.
Lots of choices. Have a good trip!
