03E

Location: Kern County, about 6 miles south-southwest of Tehachapi, 113 miles from Los Angeles

From Mojave, drive northwest on SR 58 about 21 miles to exit 148, the third Tehachapi off-ramp. It is labeled "Correctional Institution" and is SR 202 west.
Note your odometer as the exit ramp crosses the freeway, and continue generally southwards on what becomes Tucker Road.
At 1.1 miles, cross Valley Blvd. This is the turnoff for Black Mountain #3.
At 2.2 miles, an intersection with Highline Road. Turn right (west).
At 3.5 miles, Water Canyon Road on the left. Turn left (south).
At 5.7 miles, entrance to Tehachapi Mountain Park.
Continue through the park to the end of the road, keeping right at each fork, to a parking area at site 49 near some restrooms. Park here.

From the parking area (6000'), hike south up the slope to a road at 6300'.
Turn right on this road and follow it past several switchbacks to its end on the ridge at 7000' near a pile of light gray rock.
From here follow the ridge south to the summit.

The peak is actually on private property just outside the southern boundary of the Tehachapi Mountain Park.

This peak has also been known as Woodys Peak.
