Gila Wilderness Backpack Trip - Day 5

May 27, 2010 – 4 miles hiked

Our final day in the back country.  We returned to the trail head via the Little Bear Canyon Trail (729). After an initial up hill section from the river the trail was generally down hill with nothing remarkable.  Even walking slowly we were at the cars by 10 am after which we went to Doc’s Trading Post for lunch and soda while waiting for the 1 pm Gila Cliff Dwelling guided tour.  The tour is well worth the wait and the story of the cliff dwelling people is amazing. Included are pictures of the cliff dwellings from a distance, up close, and looking outward.
