Fish Lake is the prominent feature in the area, so driving directions start there. Head east on UT-25 from Fish Lake. After about 6-7 miles, you reach Johnson Reservoir and a junction with a paved road going north to I-70. Stay right for an additional 2.2 miles from the Johnson Reservoir junction to where Forest Road 015 leaves on the left. Reset your odometer here. The road from here is dirt with some washboard sections at the start, and rougher, rocky sections on the final climb to the trailhead. High clearance likely required in most conditions.

There are two trailhead options. The first, road 2646, starts a bit before the road highpoint. The alternative is just up the road at the road highpoint. I went up from the alternate and came down to road 2646. It is pretty much six-to-one and half-dozen-to-the-other. I would lean toward road 2646 since it is a bit more used. That is described here, but the map shows the alternate for those inclined.

From the main road, follow the rough jeep road 2646 south as it climbs up a grassy area to a large trough. At the trough, look to the left (east) for an old logging road that is becoming overgrown but is still visible. Follow this old logging road as it heads east and climbs. The road turns south and then makes a switchback up the hill. This section is quite pretty, with Hilgard visible to the south.

The road passes through a section of trees before opening wide into a meadow like area with a marsh/small pond on the right. Just past this marsh/small pond the logging road begins to diverge into many small side roads. From here, head generally south toward the shoulder of the mountain. Stay generally due south. Heading too far east leads to boulder hopping, too far west and there becomes much deadfall to climb over. Due south, on my trip, had a minor social trail and very intermittent cairns.

Once on the shoulder, it is an easy ridge walk to the summit. It seems easier to stay a bit south of the true ridge here, on an emerging social trail in spots. There is not much boulder hopping until near the top this way. The summit has excellent views over Fish Lake National Forest.

Return the same way.
