To get this spot, you must be traveling eastward on I-10. There is no westbound access. Access to the rest area lay between Picacho Ave. (exit 135) and Motel Blvd (exit 139).
Access is easy if traveling eastward from Deming. After passing the Picacho Ave. overpass, there will be several signs for the rest area. Simply exit the Interstate.
If traveling from the west, you can exit at Picacho Avenue and turn around easily at the junction with the frontage road (just do a U-turn and follow the signs towards El Paso, heading east). You can get back to heading west by exiting at Motel Blvd and getting back on the Interstate.
