The Lake Roberts
Cabin's & General store is located in the Gila National Forest which
is noted for it's spectacular scenery ranging from high cool mountains
with aspen and douglas fir to warm semi-arid lowlands with juniper, oak
and cactus.
The Gila National
Forest is one of the more remote and least developed National Forests in
the southwest. Covering 3.3 million acres of publicly owned forest and
range land, the Forest is the sixth largest National Forest in the continental
United States.
The Gila Wilderness
was established within the Gila National Forest in 1924 as the first designated
wilderness in the country. This undeveloped natural country can refresh
the human spirit simply by its grandeur, purity, and remoteness. The Gila
National Forest includes more wilderness than any other national forest
in the Southwest. Come see our beautiful landscapes and wildlife. |

| Approximately
340 bird species have been sighted in the Gila. Of these, 166 species are
known to breed on the forest, 114 are more-or-less regular non-breeders,
and 57 are considered to be casual or accidental. The numerous species
of birds found is largely related to the diverse ecological habitat found
on the Gila and location on a migratory flight path.

Bird Check List is available as an Adobe PDF for your convience.. |
