DRIVING ROUTE 3
- From the intersection of I-210 and Azusa Ave (SR 39) drive north on Azusa Ave 11.9 miles to East Fork Road. Turn right (east) and reset your odometer.
- Drive 2.2 miles, just beyond the entrance to Los Angeles County Fire Camp 19, and park on the right.
Note: DO NOT park in the large open space on your left across from the entrance road to the Fire Camp (at 2.15 miles).
HIKING ROUTE 3
- From the parking area (1600'), walk back along East Fork Road to the large open space across from LA County Fire Camp 19.
- Proceed about 40 yards into the open space and turn right where the trail begins by dropping down about 10 feet. (Do not take the trail that climbs on the left.)
- Follow the trail as it winds its way south and then east and then north.
- At 0.25 mile, the trail forks. Go left. (The right fork goes over a false summit then rejoins the main trail at the 2200' saddle, adding neglible mileage and an extra 50' of gain.)
- Follow the trail north along a prominent ridgeline for about 4.75 miles -- the trail reaches a saddle at 2200', and then continues along the ridgeline up and over bumps 4546', 5021', and to the summit of Peak 5346' (which has the benchmark "West Fang.").
- From Peak 5346', the trail turns east and drops down to a saddle at 5000'
- From the 5000' saddle, climb steeply and directly to the summit, veering slightly right or left of rock outcroppings.
Note: Setting up a car shuttle and returning via Route 1 is recommended.
