SILVER CITY, NM, Nov. 4, 2024 – On Monday, November 11, our country will honor veterans of all wars with a national holiday of observance, Veterans Day. All U.S. government offices, including those of the Gila National Forest, will be closed, and the day is designated as 2024's final fee-free day on federal public lands.
"Veterans Day is a great day to visit Catwalk National Recreation Trail, not just because the fee is lifted for the day, but for the opportunity for one last visit before the ice and cold of winter set in," said Gila National Forest Supervisor Camille Howes. "I extend my sincerest gratitude to those who have served our country, whether during peace or in wartime, and I hope you have the opportunity to enjoy a day of peaceful relaxation this Veterans Day."
