A remote and less-visited national monument, the Gila Cliff Dwellings sit at the headwaters of the Gila River. Though people used the natural features for shelter over millennia, people built structures and lived in them from A.D. 1280 through the early 1300s. The sites offer an unusually well-preserved and up-close glimpse into the lives of people archaeologists associate with the Mogollon archaeological culture.
