DRIVING ROUTE 2

HIKING ROUTE 2

This southwest ridge is likely to be extremely brushy and is rocky in places. An easier alternative is to hike another 1.0 miles and ascend from a small saddle before reaching the southwest ridge to join that ridge at 5200’ and continue up to the summit ridge and to the peak. Another longer alternative is to continue along the road 1.8 miles and go up the north ridge as in Route 1.
