Heart of the Gila Trails Partnership
Heart of the Gila believes that the trails on public lands in New Mexico should provide access to all New Mexicans, Americans, and visitors from around the world. The trail system in the remote expanses of the Gila Wilderness, the Aldo Leopold Wilderness, and the entire Gila National Forest offers access to its
free-flowing river, varied landscape, stunning cliffs, and old-growth ponderosa forests. Heart of the Gila is proud to be part of the community that maintains the hundreds of miles of trails throughout the Gila National Forest.
The trail work we do at Heart of the Gila is focused primarily on maintaining the river corridor trails along the Gila River.
