Take I-10 east past San Bernardino to the Orange Street exit (SR 38).
Go one block east, then go north (left) 0.5 mile to Lugonia Avenue. Turn right on SR 38 (east).
Continue east on SR 38 about 33 miles to 1N02, the road to Heart Bar Campground, on the right. Keep straight.
Continue 6.0 miles farther to Onyx Summit (8443').
Large open space on right - park here.

From the parking area (8443'), hike up the road on the right until junction of PCT reached, approximately 100 yards.
Continue on PCT south. At 2 miles a wild animal preserve is encountered on your left. (One grizzly bear and a mountain lion are visible.) The PCT passes through private property for the next 300 feet - crossing Rainbow Lane and continuing up a dirt road.
At approximately 3 miles, the PCT jogs first to the left/east then right/south for 50 yards then abruptly to the right/west and switchbacks for about a mile, where it climbs to 8750'.
On the right a large open/flat gully joins the PCT, just before the trail heads downhill.
It's a little more than 0.4 mile to the summit via the ducked use trail. Follow gully veering toward left to avoid rocks/boulders.
Continue west toward visible summit. Wysup Peak is the second summit block.
