I'm an advocate of paper maps. If you don't already have one, there is a Forest Service map available for that ranger district, which is very helpful in finding your way around all the various roads. If it's not private property I would guess you can park wherever there's a wide spot in the road. https://www.fs.usda.gov/main/coronado/maps-pubs It's been a long time (20 years) since I did any hiking down that way but as I recall it was pretty wide-open, lots of places to pull off and park. Hiked Candelerio Peak and then drove a little and hiked Ashburn Peak.
