DRIVING ROUTE 1

• Go north on I-5 to the Frazier Park exit. Exit I-5.
• Go west 12.2 miles on the Frazier Mountain Park Road to the junction with the Mil Potrero Road. (Frazier Mountain Park Road changes name in Lake of the Woods and becomes Cuddy Valley Road.)
• Turn right onto Mil Potrero Road. Note odometer and go as follows:
• At 8.3 miles, highway junction and a ranger station at Apache Saddle. This is the turnoff for Cerro Noroeste. Go straight.
• At 8.5 miles, dirt road on the right. This is the turnoff for San Emigdio Mountain. Keep straight.
• At 9.5 miles, turn right on a dirt road.
• At 11.4 miles, a sign "Marion Campground", keep left at the sign and go to a fork about 100 yards farther. Park here.

HIKING ROUTE 1

• Hike up the steep jeep road leading northwest from the campground.
• The jeep road passes to the north of several bumps and over bump 7048'.
• The high point of the peak is located about 0.2 mile northwest of bump 7048'.
• At a point where the jeep road clearly turns to the north, leave the jeep road and turn west to the high point. The high point is a large rounded, fairly flat grassy knoll with no register.

The HPS register is located about 0.3 mile farther to the north, just to the west of the jeep road on a conspicuous rocky outcrop. This spot is marked as bump 7028' on the USGS topo.
