Bring cash to donate and spend a day back in time.It's nestled between two canyons and on a hot day (106) in El Paso it was a cooler get away.The curator Linda is a great storyteller telling you all about the items in the town and the museum.Great for families, car clubs and a motorcycle run. The turn off from I-25 is so scenic and peaceful. No cell reception until you are about 5 miles out of the town of Cholride. The have cabins and RV parking to stay the night. If you have a 4x4 this is a must!!The trail out of the other side town is 38 miles to the Gilas and crosses the creek 118 times. And since it's in the the Gil's national forest you can camp out.
