Here the silent ruins speak of a time seven centuries ago when the Gila Cliff Dwellings were much more than just cold stone walls …. The homes in Cliff Dweller Canyon were aglow from fires that burned into the night. Small children played and families laughed together. Yet the walls are just the visible legacy of an ancient culture that intrigues archaeologists today. Who were the Mogollon people? What happened here centuries ago? Come and explore the fascinating story of these mysterious people.
