• Go southwest on SR 2 through Wrightwood and 4 miles further to the junction with N4. Keep left on SR 2.
• Go 1.8 miles farther to large parking areas on both sides of the road. At the beginning of the left parking area is the Blue Ridge Road (dirt). Take this road. Note your odometer and go as follows:

HIKING ROUTE 1

• From the parking area (8310'), cross the road and hike north up the slope to a jeep road at the top of the bank.
• Follow the road north down through a dip keeping left at a fork.
• Continue up as it winds to the left to the summit.
• The summit is indistinct. Be alert for a triangular yellow sign and a cairn about 30' to the right of the road.
