Trail suggestions for 4 nights in Gila Wilderness

[Josh Davidson]

At the end of the month, I’m planning on spending four nights in the Gila Wilderness and am looking for route recommendations. I’ll be taking an older dog so I won’t be booking it through the woods or covering a large number of miles each day. I’d say 6-8 miles/day is probably what I’ll shoot for.

The two points of interest I know I want to hit are Jordan Hot Springs and Turkey Creek Hot Springs. Not sure how far apart these are, but I’m willing to split up my stay into two mini-trips to incorporate both destinations. Any trail suggestions?

No Suggestions per say, but I just got back from the Gila and can say that Jordan hot springs are luke warm – tepid. Once you find the right hot springs in turkey creek, they are awesome. The two are somewhat far from each other, but I bet you could do it in about 4 days with the mileage you are talking about.

What did you mean by find the right hot spring in Turkey Creek?
