Rose Valley RV Ranch – 22-25 August 2024

Rally Registration Opens 8am AZT, Wednesday, 29 May 2024

Note that registration day has been delayed two days to Wednesday the 29th to accommodate some additional testing of our new cancellation and waitlist process. There will be a separate post about that very soon!

The Silver City Chile Run is back! This wildly popular rally is being hosted by Christine and Tom Kirk and Kim Hopwood and they have a great rally planned for you, so head to southwest New Mexico for our 6th Annual Chile Run.

Silver City is the gateway to the Gila Wilderness, our nation’s first and largest wilderness. This year, our community is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Wilderness designation and the 10th anniversary of Silver City as a gateway city for the Continental Divide Trail.

Plan on joining us Thursday, 22 August to Sunday, 25 August!

Just a few of the fabulous activities planned are:

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

As we get closer, we reach out to attendees about their interests so we can fine tune the agenda for radical awesomeness.

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 some of you are here early and would like to, we can put together a dinner or meet at a local restaurant.
