From Taos, follow NM 68 sixteen miles southwest to Pilar, NM and turn northwest on NM 570. Cross the Taos Junction Bridge and climb out of the gorge to the trailhead on the rim.
Petaca Point Trail is an easy doubletrack route extending four miles to an overlook at the junction of the Rio Grande and Arroyo Petaca gorges. The vista is worth the trip but the trail is uninspiring.
