Pass through Mt. Baldy Village and in about four miles, intersect San Antonio Falls Road on the left (gated). Park here.

From the parking area (6160'), pass the gate and hike up the road where it turns right past the waterfall. About 1/4 mile past the waterfall there is a faint trail goes up the left bank.
Follow the trail to a sign in register (about 100 meters) from the road.
Proceed up the trail for about another 50 meters past the sign-in box to where the trail makes a bend to your right (east). There is a stand of three trees at this bend on your left (west).
About 15 meters past the bend, there is a lone tree on your right (east) where a use trail begins.
Turn right (east) and ascend the slope via the use trail until you reach the ridge. Please be sure to note where you met the ridge for your return.
Turn left (north) and hike up the ridge until you meet the Devil's Backbone Trail. Please note where you met the trail for your return.
