The road to the summit, located within the Malheur National Forest, is gravel, rocky, tippy and bumpy at times. It’s called Forest Service Road 2610. It’s one lane dirt road, narrow and steep with few places pull out. Not for the feint hearted.

Located in the heart of the Blue Mountains, the road is usually impassable from October to June (weather permitting). Great trail for experienced wheelers. Avoid driving in this area if unpaved mountain roads aren't your strong point. 4x4 vehicle required. A fire lookout (staffed during summer months) built in 1968 and two moderate sized antenna are present on the summit.
