Gutierrez Canyon Open Space

,  
From I 40 East take the Zuzax Exit.  Turn left to the service road and another left to head back west. In 1\2 mile take a right hand turn onto Gutierrez Canyon Road. Please note that the street sign is partially blocked by foliage until you're almost right on it. Drive 1.8 miles.  You will pass Hobart Road (Do not park on Hobart Road).  A pull-off will come up on the right where 5 cars can park, and the rest will have to park on the gravel on the other side of the road where the trail head is marked by a small Open Space sign. That area can hold 5 or 6 more cars.  Carpooling is advised.
