Easily drove to where the wash begins in a Subaru, less than 2.5 miles from the viewpoint. A good high-clearance 4x4 can get higher up the wash. 4.8mi

No longer closed due to fire damage, as the description is indicated. Trail itself is in great shape, the last 1.5 miles of road are a 4x4 adventure!

It gets steep and rocky as you approach the summit, but the view can't be beat.
