LANL Water Tower Loop

Directions: To reach the trailhead, drive west on W. Jemez Road from Trinity drive. Turn right on West Road and park 1/4 mile along on the left (there should be an old road and a gate.) Park here. Trail begins just behind an "Environmental Restoration" sign, and parallels a barbed-wire fence.

Cerro Grande Fire Damage Assessment: As of 5/23, signs indicate that the area is still closed due to safety concerns. The area of the Watertower loop did NOT burn, but other damage to the trail is as yet unknown. More updates as soon as the signs come down.

0.6 Turn left on dirt road (pick and choose, there are lots of options) and ride toward the ski hill road.
0.8 Turn right onto an ancient paved road, then turn left onto a dirt road after 100 yards. Take this dirt road due east (you'll find it) and begin the downhill.
