    Getting TO/AROUND: El Morro is about 125 miles from Albuquerque, 42 miles from Grants, and 56 miles from Gallup .... a bit out of the way for today's roadtrips down I-40. Being out of the way, there are no buses or trains that will bring you to El Morro. Behind the wheel of a car, or on your motorcycle, are the only ways to reach this wonderful place. A plus for this is the solitude you'll experience as you wander the trails of the park.

    From I-40, go south on Hwy 53 (at Grants) ... about 42 miles later you'll come to the park entrance. Though you'll begin to see the limestone cliffs about 15 miles sooner than your arrival.

    Enjoy the journey into rural New Mexico, perhaps even wander into El Malpais to explore the ancient lava flows on your way to El Morro ........

     You know, I like looking at stuff, but walking miles and miles to see caves and writing on walls? Probably not going to happen...
