This week, we're headed to the wild and often overlooked Gila Wilderness in southern New Mexico to explore the hidden oasis and recreational haven that also carries the historic honor of being the nation’s first designated wilderness area, championed by Aldo Leopold in 1924.

Haley walks us through what makes the Gila so compelling for landowners and ranch buyers, from its deep conservation roots to its world-class hunting and hiking opportunities. With rare properties tucked into the forest offering peace, privacy, and opportunity, we also discuss the best times of year to visit, what to expect when exploring the region, and why this remote corner of the Southwest continues to attract adventurers, conservationists, and those looking to experience a truly wild piece of the American West.
