DRIVING ROUTE 1

• Drive north on Angeles Crest Highway (SR 2) for 9.5 miles to its junction with Angeles Forest Highway (N3). Turn left.
• Drive north on Angeles Forest Highway 14.2 miles to Mill Creek Summit. Turn left on Mount Gleason Road (3N17). Note your odometer and go as follows:
• At 6.2 miles, a fork, where the paved road goes into a Los Angeles County correctional facility. Take the left fork (dirt) around the detention center.
• At 8.8 miles, a gated paved road goes right (north) just past a microwave tower. Park at the gate or nearby (don't block the gate).

HIKING ROUTE 1

• From the parking area (6428'), pass the gate and hike up the road to the summit, a large open area. There is usually no register on this summit.
• To find the HPS register, travel north past the summit area about 0.3 miles on a dirt road to the summit of bump 6502. This is slightly south of and above where the PCT intersects the dirt road. The register is in a rocky patch just east of the road.
