sign and a wooden sign with the legend "Sheep Mountain Wilderness".

several bumps to Pine Mountain
which is just to the left of the trail.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
The gate at Guffy Campground is sometimes closed. It is possible to hike
the peak from the campground via the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), which passes
along the north side of the campground. See Route 2.
