In the center of Montezuma, turn east on the 264 (Santa Fe) road and drive through a residential area before the road turns more rugged as you switchback up along Morgan Gulch. There's no "official" trailhead so drive as high as you like and park on the side of the road -
1. Hike up the road (
2) to reach the saddle between 12,474-foot Morgan Peak and Santa Fe Peak -
3 and
4. Follow the road as it switchbacks southeast up Santa Fe (
