Horseback riding in the Gila Wilderness in New Mexico, the first wilderness so designated by the US in 1924. Tall rock canyons split by shallow rivers. We rode along the Geronimo Trail Scenic Byway, where history abounds – old mining ruins, Native American stone ruins, and even tales of outlaws. #geronimotrailguestranch
