1.3 miles, +1,083 ft
Driving Directions
Turn east off highway 89 at Kings Hill just north of the Kings Hill Cabin. Stay to the right and follow the road south as it bends past the cabin. The road climbs up Kings Hill and bends to the east for about 1-mile. Turn left at the trail junction and follow FS-251 for 8.2-miles as it heads north along the crest of the ridge to the junction with FS-3300. Turn left (north) on FS-3300 and follow it 3.7-miles to the trailhead.
Hiking Directions
It is 1.3-miles and +1,083 feet to the summit from the trailhead. Turn left (north) at the unmarked trail junction 0.2-miles from the trailhead and follow the trail up the talus slope. Stay right at the signed trail junction that is 0.4-miles from the trailhead. Note that TR-416 is open to motorcycles from 12/1 to 10/14.
Road Conditions
FS-251 is an unsurfaced road that tends to have ruts and mud holes. It is likely passable with care and diligence in a Subaru. A vehicle with clearance can make good time at about 10-20 mph. FS-251 is rougher beyond the junction with FS-3300 and should likely not be attempted without a suitable 4wd.
FS-3300 is less rutted and muddy than FS-251, but it has one or two boney areas that may be problematic and which would definitely require care if using a lower clearance vehicle (e.g. Subaru).
