HIKING ROUTE 1

(west) past a sign 50' up the trail. Follow the PCT as it goes south
and up Liebre Mountain to the broad summit area.
- Once in the broad summit area, hike roughly 0.4 mile on relatively
level ground, watching for a flimsy fence a few yards off the trail to

jeep track, about 50 yards past the fence.
