Directions to the Casa del Gavilan

---

The Casa del Gavilan is located at 570 NM-21. This is six miles south (east) of Cimarron on Highway 21.

If you are using GoogleMaps or I-Maps just enter "Casa del Gavilan". Confirm the location indicated is six miles south of Cimarron as some mapping programs locate the Casa near Angel Fire, New Mexico - thirty miles to the west.

DO NOT USE THE CASA'S STREET ADDRESS listed above on GoogleMaps or I-Maps as these programs don't understand rural New Mexico addresses and may take you to the wrong location. Instead, enter "Casa del Gavilan Historic inn" rather than the street address.

The WAZE app may direct users onto Philmont Scout Ranch's private road in Urraca Canyon a half mile north of the proper entrance. The proper entrance to the Casa del Gavilan is on Highway 21 just south of the S-curve, directly east of the Casa.
