The drive out to the Kilbourne Hole is on a well-maintained dirt road for approximately 1 hour once you leave I-10 from the north or NM Hwy 28 near La Union, New Mexico from the east.

Gloves, trash bags & buckets, trash grabbers, and other personal protective equipment will be provided at the site.
