Take I-15 south to Temecula.
Take the second off-ramp for SR 79, signed "79 South / Indio". Turn left (east) on SR 79 for 37 miles to the town of Warner Springs.
Continue south of Warner Springs on SR 79 for 3.5 miles to a junction with S2 coming in from the left. Turn left onto S2.
Drive southeast 4.7 miles to S22. Turn left.
Drive east on S22 for 5.4 miles to the good dirt Lease Road. Turn left.
Drive 1.5 miles north on Lease Road. Just past Jack Ass Road, turn right onto a dirt road.
Drive 0.5 mile until you reach an Anza-Borrego boundary sign. Park here. The dirt road to the right is private property.

From the parking area (4500'), head north up a broad canyon on a dirt road and use trail.
After approximately 0.7 mile, reach a steep gully. To the right of the gully is a dirt road between Prospects Peak (5685') and 5035'. Turn onto the dirt road.
Follow the jeep road in a southeast direction to a saddle.
Leave the road at the saddle to avoid private property down the road. Walk across a flat area toward a gully, staying low enough to avoid brush.
Ascend the gully on the west side of The Thimble.
When the gully becomes brushy, pick a path through the brush to the peak. The route is lightly ducked.
