The start is hard to identify since the fire: the Kayser trail is the disused road (closed in one direction) at the high point of the main road. An easy hike, even if the trail wanders all over the hillside in idle switch-backing.
Long push to visit both Valencia County's HP on the range's west side, and Manzano Peak (Torrance County HP). 15 mile day. Great views, very enjoyable day.
