Hidden Valley Ranch RV Resort

Hikes, heritage and spectacular surrounds are all around the resort: ask the Hidden Valley team for its tips or join in one of the regular organised activities. The town of Deming a 10-minute drive away is home to Deming Armory, a 19th-century building with the Deming Luna Mimbres Museum covering Native American culture and the famed pottery of the Mimbres culture with its distinctive black on white designs. From Deming, the quiet and arty town of Silver City 52 miles away has a blues festival each May and a bluegrass, Americana and folk festival every September, part of a full festival programme in the town that includes the Red Paint Pow Wow, Silver City Clay Festival, Gila River Festival and the Silver City Fiber Arts Festival. Silver City is a gateway town for the Gila Wilderness, protected as the world's first wilderness area back in 1924 and now the biggest designated wilderness area in New Mexico. Fishing is popular here and at nearby Lake Roberts, where anglers can cast off for catfish and trout. Just adjacent to the wilderness area is the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument, covering 553 acres of spectacular rock formations. The rock and river views of the nearby Catwalk are also a must see; yet more stones along with boulders of up to 40 feet are at the City of Rocks State Park.
