The History and Mystery of the Gila River

Many people know about Arizona’s most famous river, the Colorado, but the often-forgotten Gila River has a rich and interesting history too.  Join us as we journey through the history of the Gila River. The geology that formed the Gila and the dinosaurs that splashed in it.  The human side of the Gila is brought to life through personal memoirs, field journals, and anecdotes of the missionaries, explorers, and adventurers who followed it, to the pioneers who settled alongside it.
