This trail head is just off of Highway 90 going toward Lordsburg. The forest road turnoff is just past the Gila National Forest sign when driving south from Silver City. It is about 20 miles to the turnoff. The trail head is a large flat sandy area just above the wash. The trail isn't really a trail for the first several hundred feet since it follows a dry sandy creekbed. You will find the trail soon though. This hike is rather aerobic since you go up in altitude the whole way to the top of Jack's Peak. I did not get to the top the day I took these photographs. I did go high enough that I had commanding views of the deserts of New Mexico's bootheel.
