Dear Trail Rider,

A horseback pack trip into the heart of the Gila is a genuine wilderness experience.

America's largest  and the world's first wilderness area…the mountains of the  Gila is rich with human history and blessed with the most diverse  landscape and wildlife anywhere on the planet.

Ancient Indians dating back 1000 years lived in this region, leaving behind cliff dwellings  and other ruins. The Apaches called the Gila home, with the birthplace  of Geronimo located within the Gila.

A host of colorful explorers, hunters, prospectors and homesteaders tried in vain to  settle the Gila. With over 3 million acres to explore, the Gila  Wilderness provides nearly "endless" riding country. Some  of the most unusual geology anywhere lies along the scenic creek bottoms…spectacular hoodoo's and caves.

The vistas are breathtaking…as far as the eye can see -- complete wilderness. Along the way, take  in remarkable old growth Ponderosas, Douglas Firs and the majestic  Aspens.

The Gila provides  a remarkable wildlife habitat --observe elk, deer, bear, turkeys, bobcats, rare birds, plus the newly introduced Mexican Gray Wolf!

Experienced and gentle riding animals, tasteful home-cooked food and an enjoyable and fun  staff all add to the uniqueness of the Gila Wilderness horseback  vacation. We love our work!

U-Trail is located in Glenwood on the western edge of the Gila Wilderness in southwest  New Mexico. Join the U-Trail crew for a journey of a lifetime…a true horseback wilderness experience.
