  • Morning Hiking
  • Downtown Walks and Shopping
  • Visiting the Gila Hotsprings
  • Dinner at the Buckhorn in Pinos Altos
  • Visit a beautiful and thriving Benedictine Monastery 
  • Visit Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument

As we get closer, we will be asking attendees about their interests. Deadline for your registration is Aug 1. This is an Airstream Club rally. If you are not a member, but own an Airstream, and would like to attend as a Guest, please contact the hosts.

If you would like to come earlier or stay longer you are welcome to do that, just let the folks at Rose Valley know your plans. If you arrive early and would like to, we can put together a dinner or meet at a local restaurant. 

Schedule of Events:

Thursday Evening 5:30 Welcome Happy Hour at the Group Area. Bring your beverage and a snack. We will also have the margarita machine going.

Friday Morning Tom will lead any interested campers on an easy hike. During the afternoon, spend some time exploring Silver City’s fun downtown. Visit some of the galleries and have a drink at Little Toad Creek Brewery and Distillery https://littletoadcreek.com

There is also a wonderful museum downtown.  For those of you with interest in military history, take a short drive to Fort Bayard and visit this historic fort and the national cemetery there. https://www.fortbayard.org  

Friday Evening Happy Hour at the Group Area at 5:00. Bring your beverage and a snack. For those who want to join us we’ll be heading 7 miles north for dinner in Pinos Altos at the Buckhorn Saloon and Opera House. The Buckhorn is quite something to see with rich history and amazing artifacts on the walls. Pinos Altos was a thriving metropolis in the mid 1800’s, now a small community with a fun outlaw past.

Saturday Morning at 9:00 we will enjoy another hike on the nearby Dragonfly trail. Take time to grab fresh roasted green chile to take home with you.
