ALTERNATE ROUTES
1N34 is sometimes open from Cucamonga Canyon. This is a long 4WD road and can be very rough and sometimes impassable.
It is also possible to hike up the old 1N36 roadbed from the southeast. This is shorter that hiking in from Sierra Avenue.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
The road from Sierra Avenue is closed except in the fall season. Contact this USFS office for details.
