How to Get There  
From Alamogordo  
A caravan assembles at the Otero County Fairgrounds and is escorted by WSMR vehicles to Trinity Site. The caravan leaves at 8:00am. Be sure to have your vehicle fully fueled as the drive from Alamogordo to Trinity is some 80 miles, making the round trip around 160 miles
