Do this. Drive to the end of Fountain Flats Drive and hike along the old road to Ojo Caliente Spring. Cross the bridge. Directly on the opposite side of the river from Ojo Caliente is the trailhead for the Sentinel Meadow trail. Take it. Keep going. Go all the way, past the other springs (Mound, Steep, Iron Pot). The trail will curve toward the south. At that point either 1) cut straight across the grassy meadow -- probably pretty dry at this season -- or 2) continue the trail a bit more until you reach anotehr that branches sharply back to the nnorthwest. Take it and it goes directly to Queen's Laundry, and Norris's bath house.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Put another way -- if you can find Sentinel Meadow (no hill climbing needed or recommended), then Queen's Laundry is simply the farthest spring in from the road.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></BODY></HTML>
