The Trailhead is on a dirt road on the right side of FR 42. You can either park at the open area just off the paved road, or continue up the dirt road a few hundred meters where there are several places to park or camp.

This is the best hike in the Ochoco Mountains and it has an old mine to explore - how awesome is that?
