Trail head is located at the far end of the Pajarito Mountain ski area parking lot.  Go past the Ski Lodge.  You will need to walk from the end of the parking lot down the service road under the Mother Lift about 200feet to the trailhead at the right.  At the left across from trailhead you will see a small metal building with skis and Southwest Nordic Ski Club sign on it.  Trailhead has visible Forest Service info board on it.

• Do not walk/hike on the upper trail (see Trail Map from point "A")...footprints destroy our grooming efforts and create dangerous skiing conditions.
• No Dogs on the upper trail (heed signs).
• No Snowshoes on the upper trail (heed signs).
• Snowshoers allowed on lower trail - do not walk in/on classic (parallel) track.
• Well-behaved dogs allowed on lower trail. Maintain voice control for the dog's and skier safety.
