On this horseback wilderness adventure vacation, your trails are made -- not followed! From the comfort of your rustic cabin accommodations at The Double E Ranch, tucked away in the corner of southwestern New Mexico, you will be presented with an exclusive opportunity to experience a virtual ecological paradise for those seeking absolute solitude and escape from modern society's busy, stress-filled lifestyle.
Imagine yourself standing on top of a high, remote peak in
the Pinos Altos Mountain Range, spectacular New Mexico vistas
surrounding you, all the way into Arizona. You can feel

Refresh and revitalize your spirit simply by feeling its grandeur, purity and remoteness. No one knows exactly when the first human settlers came to the Gila Region. However, the presence of man and machine has been extremely limited, even through today. But, by using Double E Guest Ranch as your staging site, you can begin a unique journey back through thousands of years, experiencing wild lands on the back of a gentle, safe horse.
Covering
several diverse ecological zones, the
wildlife and vegetation are
abundant.

and motorized vehicles, the terrain traversed during the

animals of the Upland Desert and Southern Rocky Mountains can be
found here and can be seen most
Environmentally aware of the importance of this natural resource and in our own efforts to preserve the pristine beauty of this land, Gila Wilderness Nature Rides specialize in "leave no trace" exploration and insist all adventurers responsibly bring out what they pack in. For those desiring to surround themselves with the beauty of this rugged landscape, the Gila Wilderness Nature Ride will take you on gentle, seasoned horses through rugged, pristine canyons and mountains lying within the magnificent Bear Creek and Greenwood Canyon drainage systems, and along the western edge of the legendary Gila Wilderness in southwest New Mexico.
