From the intersection of I-210 and Angeles Crest Highway (SR 2), drive 41.6 miles on Angeles Crest Highway to a parking area on the right at mile marker 66.37. Park here (UTM 240006).

From the parking area (7260'), note the large center gully on the south side of the highway with a vertical culvert pipe at the bottom. On the left side of the gully there is an obvious use trail that ascends steeply up the slope.
Hike up this use trail, bearing about 210°, 1/4 mile to Windy Gap (7588').
Continue east on the PCT for 1.4 miles farther to saddle 8400', where a trail forks to the south. This is the turnoff for Middle Hawkins and South Mount Hawkins (LO).
Take the left (east) fork, the PCT, up past bump 8800'+ and on to where the trail arrives on the ridge northeast of the summit. Here there is a fork heading southwest along the ridge. This is the turnoff for Throop Peak.
Turn right and follow this trail up to the summit.
