  From Albuquerque: Drive north for 54 miles on I-25 towards Santa Fe. Take the exit to NM-599, Veteran's Memorial Hwy, and drive 14 miles to the ramp for US 84/285. Drive 14 miles to the exit to Hwy 502, just past Pojoaque Pueblo. Stay on 502 for 17 miles into Los Alamos. You will pass a small airport and a residential area on your right. The road will fork – bear to your right, which will put you on Central Avenue. At the first stoplight, continue to drive straight on Central through a commercial area. You will pass the Post Office on your right and Starbucks Coffee on your left. Just past the Post Office, still looking right, you will see a grassy park with a large vertical log structure. The building is Fuller Lodge.
  
  

  Survival Tips:

  1. Los Alamos is in the high desert. Drinking a lot of water will help you adjust to the altitude and keep you from dehydrating in the low humidity.
  2. Wear sunscreen and a hat.
  3. If you are not adjusted to altitude, be careful exercising.
  4. Wildlife abounds in the Los Alamos area in both populated and unpopulated areas. Be careful driving at night, as animals will frequently cross the highway. Do not approach any wildlife you see.
  5. Do not pick up or kick anything shiny you find on the ground. While it is unusual to find unexploded munitions on downtown mesa, there are cases where they have been found near the hiking trails around town.
