Nestled along the tranquil San Francisco River in southwest New Mexico, along Highway 180, Glenwood lies on the western edge of one of the largest wilderness areas in America — the Gila Wilderness, which turned 100 in 2024. Glenwood is the perfect place to relax, take in some spectacular scenery, enjoy the great outdoors, see some spectacular wildlife, and soak in the local hot springs. You can visit the famous Gila trout at the fish hatchery, celebrate dark skies at the Cosmic Campground, attend local events, plus meet some friendly locals.
Plenty of history here, too. Billy the Kid and the Wild Bunch resided in these parts. So did the Apaches. Visit the old grave site of Cooney — the Calvary officer who started the mining town of Cooney. Gernomino was born just to the east of Glenwood on the headwaters of the Gila.
Walk the famous Catwalk — a narrow, curving canyon where miners from the late 1800s laid a waterpipe stretching some two miles to an old mining operation. A beautiful mile hike takes you through a wooded canyon with cascading waterfalls and giant boulders. Enjoy a wonderful New Mexico wilderness adventure.
Take a short drive up into the mountains and spend an afternoon walking the streets of the ghost town 
Mogollon. The old Mogollon hotel greets you upon arrival. Relive America's late 1800s mining history. The Mogollon museum provides great information and artifacts. Visit the Old Kelly Store to find local artists' wares and enjoy a meal at the Purple Onion. There is also a cemetery with plenty of history about some of the local families.
Welcome to Glenwood . . .
plenty to see, plenty to do — a place you will never forget.
