Gila Wilderness: First U S National Park of the Outdoors
The Gila Wilderness in southwest New Mexico was designated on June 3 1924 to initiate the U S wilderness system. It includes the Mogollon and Black Range Mountains, canyons and rivers and the largest unbroken stand of Ponderosa pine. The piece frames wilderness as both landscape and mindset amid growing use and need for stewardship. Photographed by William Stockton.
