A short but steep hike. To get there take NM-143 to Camino Real Road, which is a wide gravel road that a car can access although the last quarter mile it becomes rocky and steep making it unsuitable for cars. The road ends at the intersection with Coyote Road, there's a small parking area on the right. No trail to the summit so follow the drainage up. The top half is scree/talus and is steep. As you approach the highpoint you will be confronted by a wall of rock - look for a narrow opening on the left. That's your access point to the summit. Scramble up the slot, then head right.
