HIKING ROUTE 1

 From the parking area, take the right fork (2N33) and hike about 100 meters to where a culvert (evident on close inspection) passes under the road. A duck might be visible in the gully to the right of the road.  Follow a usually ducked route up the gully, heading generally north through boulders until west of bump 5398.  Ascend the sometimes brushy ridgeline northwest to the summit, which is the farthest north of the rocky outcrops.
