These two slideshows are both of the Mountain Loop in the Gomez Peak Trail System located just northwest of Silver City in the Gila National Forest Little Walnut area. This hike is about 4.5 miles long and ascends slowly to the top of the shoulder ridge of Eighty Mountain. The south side of the ridge is semidesert with cacti and agave galore sporting a nice view of Silver City below. The north side of the ridge is totally different. Wildflowers, ferns, Ponderosa Pines greet you and a magnificent view of the Pinos Altos Range and Mogollon Mountains beyond. The trailhead is about 6 miles northwest of Silver City proper. A trail map of the whole trail system is available here.
