Welcome to Silver City, NM!
Silver City resides on the southern edge of the Gila National Forest and Wilderness region. This Grant Country community holds numerous historic ties to mining, agriculture and ranching. Preserving and embracing these regional, cultural and historic connections is characteristic to the citizens and practices of Silver City. The Gila National Forest encompasses the city with 3 million acres (1.2 million ha) of wilderness, where visitors can cross-country ski, camp, fish, backpack and more. Fans of competitive rodeo gather annually for Silver City—s Wild Wild West Pro Rodeo. Events include roping, bull riding and fast riding. The annual Silver Springs Blues Festival attracts local blues musicians and their fans for a series of concerts, street dances and vendors. Just southeast of the city is the one-square-mile City of Rocks State Park. Here, rock formations that were created by a volcanic eruption reach elevations of 5,200 ft (1586 m).
