DRIVING ROUTE 2

• From the intersection of I-210 and Angeles Crest Highway (SR 2), drive north on Angeles Crest Highway 28.2 miles to Sulphur Springs Road on the left. At this junction (also known as Three Points) turn left. Note your odometer and go as follows:
• At 2.8 miles, a parking area on the left side of the road. This is the parking spot for Mount Hillyer. Continue straight.
• At 3.9 miles, Alder Saddle and a fork. This is the turnoff for Pacifico Mountain. Go right on 5N04.
• At 5.0 miles, a parking area on the right. Park here. This parking area is just after the turnoff to Sulphur Spring, misspelled "Sulpher Springs" by USFS, and just before the Forest Service gate closure.

HIKING ROUTE 2

• From the parking area (5380'), walk past the gate gently downhill about 1/2 mile.
• Hike NNE across the debris from the old firing range to an obvious firebreak that heads NNW up a ridge.
• Continue NNW then N on the fire break until you reach the summit.
