Head west out of Delta on US-50 W/US-6 W toward Baker, NV. About 62 miles from Delta, after driving through Kings Canyon, look for a good side road on the left that climbs the mountain to the communication towers seen in the distance. This is at about mile post 24.3.

From the trailhead, continue south on the old two-track road. It is easy hiking in a wide valley. After about 4 miles (1.5 hours), the two-track ends.

When the two-track ends, continue up the ATV track that ascends the gully. Near the top if the gully, the ATV track turns left. Follow it. From this point on, the route is to follow the wide old gas exploration road. There isn’t much of the old road visible, except that it is a wide swath with no trees or tall vegetation. It is easy walking. On my trip, ATV tracks continued along here.

The old road curves around and heads southwest, high above Bonny Stairs canyon. As the road descends to the floor of Bonny Stairs Canyon, you will come to a major junction, with a wide valley coming in on each side. Go left. The old road is less distinct here, but you are heading southwest with King Top visible soon as the highest point on the left.

As the valley opens into a large open area, and King Top is visible a short distance to the south, leave any remains of the track you are following and head up to the summit. The easiest route, to me at least, was to head directly to the ridge, then follow the ridge to the summit.

From the summit, the Tule Valley and Notch Peak are visible far to the north. Views in all directions of the wide open desert are expansive. Return the same way.
