HIKING ROUTE 2
- From the parking area (7360'), hike southeast on an old road to where
it disappears.
- Hike southeast up the slope keeping left to avoid brush, to
the summit plateau, meeting a road just north of the peak in a
saddle.
- From there follow a ducked trail south up to the summit.
Note: Route 2 has been gated and locked at the intersection of 2N13 / 3N14 for a number of years
following a fire in the area, and if the gate is locked, an additional 8 mile road hike is required (one
way).
