Start in the new parking lot just by the main fire road. Follow the dirt road until the suspended bridge that crosses the river. Follow the rock/dust path and keep left at the junction. Trail becomes more of an actual trail now with roots, rocks and smooth sections. The uphill portion starts almost at the end with several wooden stairs (new addition, too bad they built that) to avoid the erroded rocky climb. After the stairs end theres just a bit of elevation to gain on mostly rocky trail up to the summit. Beautyful summit 360 view. Stop your watch at the summit sign or touch and get back down the same trail. Fun short route, in a very quiet setting with some good elevation with makes it a good training run. The summit is worth it and there would be another possible FKT route which involves a few class 2 moves coming from the north end side of the mountain.
