Driving Directions:
We are meeting at the A.C.S. Parking Lot at 10:00am and carpooling over since there is limited parking.  There is no parking fee.

For those who wish to go directly there:

To reach the Three Gun Spring trailhead, drive east on I40 from Albuquerque to the Carnuel exit, then take NM 333 east for 2 miles to Monticello Estates, where you'll turn left and follow U.S. Forest Service sings to the Three Gun Spring Trail, No. 194.  A road in a gravelly wash leads into a small parking area, with no parking fee.

Note: Thieves have been known to target cars here, so don't leave your vehicle with your belongings visible -- or take them with you.
