The rugged road to the summit, located within the Sequoia National Forest, is rocky narrow and dirt. It’s called Forest Rte 13S04. The road is usually impassable from October to June (weather permitting). Great trail for experienced wheelers. The road (when dry) is accessible via 2WD. But you’ll definitely want a 4-wheel drive or at least a high profile vehicle the last two and a half miles. Low profile cars should not attempt this road. At the summit there’s a lookout tower built in 1923. The summit offers a spectacular 360-degree view stretching from the Coastal Ranges across the San Joaquin Valley to the highest peaks of the Sierra Nevada.
