I nero'd out of the Gila Hot Springs after enjoying a morning dip in the pools. I caught a hitch out of the springs to the Gila Cliff Dwellings national monument by a trail angel named Bush. I forgot my charging phone at Doc's, so we had to swing back around. The dwellings were rich in history and was able to get a brief tour by one of the volunteers there. The high route back to the Gila was about a mile down the road that lead there. Hiked with a hiker that goes by his name Tim Olsen, a ex Microsoft sales manager, and now conservationist who's saving rainforests down in Brazil.

Not too far after dropping down into the Gila river canyon again I was able to take yet another hot springs called, Jordan Hot Springs. Little cairns lined the natural pool made by its visitors. At the end of the day I camped with with hikers named Moist, Oppa, and Mac after enjoying a small camp fire next to the river.
