Welcome to Silver City — our town sits in the southwest corner of New Mexico at 5,900 feet in elevation in the foothills of the Gila National Forest. We’re equal parts mining town, arts and culture scene, and “small-town” living. A true gem in Southwestern New Mexico, with 3.3 million acres of forest recreation, a vibrant historic downtown, and dozens of events. There is so much to explore in and around Silver City.
