HIKING ROUTE 2

• From the parking area (4600'), hike east along Angeles Crest Highway for 100', and go up the dirt road on the left (2N46) for about 3/4 mile to a trail junction on the left.
• Turn left and follow the trail about 1/4 mile to the top of a ridge coming up from Red Box Divide.
• Leave the trail here and climb the steep ridge up to the summit. This ridge is very steep and very loose. A high degree of care is required on this section.
