Drive north on I-5 to the Frazier Park exit. Turn left (west).
Go west on Frazier Park Mountain Road for 7 miles to the signed junction with Lockwood Valley Road. This is the turnoff for Frazier Mountain, Lockwood Peak, Thorn Point, San Guillermo Mountain, and San Rafael Peak. Continue straight.
In about 0.6 mile, turn tightly right onto signed Scott Russell Road, 9N21. Note your odometer and go as follows:
At 2.4 miles, a metal gate. Go straight.
At 2.7 miles, fork. Go right. There may be a post with "trail" on it, and an arrow to the right.
At 3.3 miles, a junction followed immediately by another junction. Stay straight through the first junction, go left at the second. There may be a post at the second junction with "trail" on it, and an arrow to the left.
At 3.7 miles, a fork. Go right. Ordinary vehicles may prefer to park here, as the road deteriorates from this point on.
At 3.9 miles, a motorcycle trail, FR 116, comes in from the right. This is the trail mentioned in Route 1 that meets a road just west of elevation 6925'. Continue straight on the road.
At 4.2 miles, the road goes steeply up. Park here. Note: if you have a capable 4WD and know how to use it, you can drive all the way to the peak.

From the parking area (approximately 6755'), continue east on the road for approximately 3/4 mile, going over an intermediate bump, through a saddle, and up the peak.
Just before the road starts steeply downwards, turn right at a junction and hike a short distance to the summit. The benchmark can sometimes be found in the center of a flat area. The register should be in some rocks just west of the summit.
