From the West:
To get to the Black Range Lodge go east on  I-10 and exit in Lordsburg or Deming, NM.  The Lordsburg route will take you through Silver City (Hwy 90) where you will catch Hwy 180, and about 5 miles later, make a left turn onto Hwy 152.   Here's where you will see the first sign to Kingston (about 45 miles, which should take about an hour and twenty minutes).   Stay on this road, which winds its way past a big copper mine, down into the Mimbres valley, then up through the Gila National Forest and over the Black Range Mountains.  You will crest the Black Range at Emory Pass, where there is a great vista point (left about 100 yards on a paved access road),  Here you can see 100+ miles and overlook Kingston, the closest community.  (There's a rest room here, too.)   Back on Hwy 152, you will descend 9 miles and make a sharp left-turn into Kingston.  There are signs here, including one for the Black Range Lodge...... slow way down to make the turn.  The Lodge is ahead on the left about 1/4 mile -- drive thru 2 wagon wheels into the parking lot. This is a beautiful drive, but I would not recommend it at night or if the weather is questionable.   Call us if you are wondering -- 505-895-5652. If you exit I-10 at Deming (I think it's the second exit) follow the signs to Hatch.  Basically you turn left under the freeway onto Hwy 180 and go about a mile, then yield right onto Hwy 26.  This is a straight, fast road, with an occasional patrol car.  Go 30 miles, and turn Left onto Hwy 27.  This turn comes up fast at highway speeds -- there is a bar/restaurant called "The Middle of Nowhere Cafe."   You'll also see a joke sign for the "Nutt Shopping Mall," but not until you slow down and turn left. Hwy  27 is a little-travelled road through ranch country.  It goes from straight to rolling hills, and you may see cattle on the road.  Antelope are also sighted along here.  The road passes by the ghost town of Lake Valley and ends at Hillsboro, where you will turn Left -- Kingston is nine miles further....  At the edge of Kingston -- where there is a sign for The Black Range Lodge -- bear right off the highway onto our Main Street (the most prominent sign says "dead end.")   If you miss that turn, you will find yourself climbing up a steep curvy hill, then will see a sign that announces the Gila National Forest.  You'll find there a convenient place to turn around and head back....
