Question I'm thinking of taking a 3 day weekend to Silver City around February the 22d. Do you have and suggestions on places to stay. I would like a cabin if possible. There will be two of us. Thanks
Answer Hi Chuck! Silver City is a fun place - it has funky galleries, wine bars and some really good restaurants. The mountains of the Gila are some of the most beautiful in the Southwest.
For a listing of cabins, bed and breakfasts and hotels, visit www.silvercity.org. They have a full run-down. The Casitas de Gila offer pretty adobe guesthouses. (www.casitasdegila.com)
