Gather up your family and friends and come to Glenwood and join us for the 20h Whitewater Mesa Fun Kite Flying Picnic. We are joined by up to 190 people. There is plenty of space to celebrate the wind without fences to tangle your kite strings, and room to park for your tailgate picnic. While you are here and for a completely different experience, walk the path of one or all six of the labyrinths and a maze across the road at Whitewater Mesa Labyrinths. Also hike the Gold Dust trail into the Gila Wilderness which starts at the East edge of the kite field.

PLACE: Across the road from Whitewater Mesa Labyrinths located at 355 Bursum Road, Glenwood. Second house on the left after mile marker 3 on NM 159 off Hwy 180 West, between Glenwood and Alma, NM 88039. GPS 33.3765, -108.852 NB: If using MapQuest et al be sure to enter Glenwood NM not Datil, NM after 355 Bursum Road or you will end up 35 miles away on a trail up the mountain in the Gila Wilderness!
