Tijeras Cemetery is 10 miles from I-25 west bound on Highway 12 
(Highway of Legends) on the north side of the highway.  There are 
two Cemeteries; one you can see from from the highway on the north 
side on a hill (Tijeras #2). It is before you get to entrance of 
Tijeras #1.  There is an old Church on the left (south side of 
highway).  Go about ¼ mile and turn to the right up the hill and 
follow the dirt road back to the cemetery.
