Route map + Trailhead

I haven't added a map for this hike yet, but I hope to soon!

Trailhead Coordinates

34.839080, -107.912709

The directions link below drops a pin on the trailhead coordinates and lets Google Maps pick the route. If the drive has rough roads or access issues that GPS nav might get wrong, I cover that in my trip report.

Trip report

Outdated information

This report is from before I put more time into writing and taking route photos, so it may not be very helpful. I'm keeping it up for the memories, and will one day hopefully return to better document. Find other reports in this region.
