HIKING ROUTE 2

• Hike east past the outhouse, going along a ridge that leads down to the PCT. Follow the PCT past the intersection with the Acorn Trail (to Wrightwood).
• Continue along the PCT for about 0.7 mile until the parking area (8310') for Route 1 is visible below you to your right.
• Hike down to the parking area for Route 1. There is a spade marker with a red and white sign and a wooden sign with the legend "Sheep Mountain Wilderness" at the parking area.
• Follow the obvious trail (quite steep in spots) over several bumps to Pine Mountain which is just to the left of the trail.
