Road 2627
The only access is along
farm road 2627 which this leaves US 385, the eastern approach to the national park, shortly before the Persimmon Gap then follows beneath the northwest face of the
Santiago Mountains for 26 miles to the Rio Grande, ending at a fenced-off bridge over the river into Mexico. The road drops over 1,000 feet through rocky, undulating desert land densely covered with many types of cactus. In summer the temperature difference seems quite marked - the relatively cool and often breezy conditions around the main road are replaced by stifling windless heat and temperatures up to 110 °F at roads end.
