    Tips

    March 13, 2023

    This is a great area to park the car if you are planning on hiking up to La Mosca Lookout Tower or Mount Taylor (or both). Most cars can make it to this spot on the road, but 4wd is the safest option. If you aren't here for the walk, this road will take you all the way up to the La Mosca Tower, but you will definitely need 4wd and high-clearance to get that far. There are also numerous pull-offs on the way up the road if you ever feel like parking the car early and getting in more walking.
