Trip Planning
Travel at Your Own Risk.
Trail conditions can change at any moment & may even become impassable.
Trails Cleared Maps: A map of trails cleared is offered by the website, Gila Trails Info. This Interactive map contains information on many of the most recently cleared trails and is regularly updated. The Gila and Aldo Leopold Wilderness Map is updated yearly. The information on the maps does not guarantee a clear trail since trail condition can change at any time. Refer to the Trail Maintenance Log to understand the type of trail maintenance completed on the Forest Service map.
