MEETING PLACE: Take US285 west to the Parmalee Gulch Rd. exit and turn right onto Parmalee Gulch Rd. Follow Parmalee Gulch Rd. for 3 miles to Picutis Rd. and turn right. Take the first left onto Comanche Rd. Take the first right onto Ohkay Rd, and then take the first right onto Picutis Rd again. Follow Picutis for ½ mile, keeping left onto Nambe Rd. to Mt. Falcon Rd. Then straight to the parking lot. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the directions ahead of time as this is a tad tricky. There are abundant signs showing the way to Mt. Falcon.

We may park in the overflow lot if the main one is full. Either lot is fine, though. You can also park along the road in designated parking areas if the parking lots are full.
