Go north on I-5 to the town of Gorman. Get off on the signed Gorman exit.
Turn left at the bottom of the off-ramp and go under the freeway.
Go 0.1 mile to Peace Valley Road. Turn right.
Go 1 mile to the entrance to Hungry Valley Recreation Area on your left (paved). Turn left. Note your odometer and go as follows:
At 0.2 miles, entrance station. If manned, you can avoid payment of the fee by telling the State Park employee that you are passing through to Alamo Mountain.
At 5.2 miles, intersection. Turn right (west) toward "Piru Creek", signed.
At 11.4 miles, Piru Creek crossing. There is a seasonal gate just before this stream crossing.
At 13.4 miles, the pavement ends.
At 17.8 miles, fork to the left. Keep right.
At 17.9 miles, junction with the Alamo Mountain Road. Turn left. Note your odometer again and go as follows:
At 3.3 miles, fork immediately beyond a small road cut through the ridge. Turn right.
At 4.5 miles, the road reaches its highest point at a shallow ridge south of the peak. Park here.

From the parking area at the shallow ridge (7020'), hike north along the crest of a gentle ridge, keeping the western drop off visible to your left to simplify navigation in this easy terrain.
After passing over a couple of small bumps the steeper summit area becomes visible. The register is found on a small rocky outcrop north of the more dramatic rock structures, and is the easternmost of the two highest summit bumps.
