The Rancho de Rio Grande Trailhead is just past the small town of Talpa and is marked by a sign reading "Rio Grande del Rancho Trail 18" and a pull off. The trail drops steeply for the first third of a mile, and then parallells the "High Road to Taos" on a relatively easy to follow double track trail through the foothills above the road. If you wish, you can take the trail all the way down to Fort Burgwin and the Pot Creek Cultural Site, a 13th century abandoned pueblo.
