DRIVING ROUTE 1

• Take I-10 east and I-15 north to Sierra Avenue. Exit I-15 and turn left at the bottom of the off-ramp onto Sierra Avenue.
• Go 1.6 miles to a dirt road (1N34) on the left. Turn left. Note your odometer and go as follows:
• At 1.0 mile, junction at a power line. Go straight.
• At 5.6 miles, fork with 1N36 (closed) on the left. Keep straight.
• At 7.7 miles, fork. Keep straight. (This is the turnoff for San Sevaine Lookout.)
• At 9.8 miles, barbed wire barricade on left blocking overgrown road. Park here.

Note: High clearance 4WD vehicles may be required past 8.2 miles. The road is too rough and steep for 2WD vehicles past this point. There is also a problem with brush damaging vehicles' finish. It may be easier to leave vehicles at the San Sevaine Lookout trailhead (5550') and hike the road toward the Buck Point. This will add 4 miles round trip and 500' of gain.

HIKING ROUTE 1

• From the parking area (6050'), go around the barbed wire barricade on the left and hike up an overgrown road to a saddle.
• Turn right at the saddle, leave the road, and hike along a use trail through high brush to the flat summit area.
• The register is in a small rock cairn off to the left (south).

The brush along the use trail may become almost impassable if not clipped.
