Ascent Trip ReportFrom Panoche Rd west of I-5, drive south, first to New Idria (22 miles), then 3.5 miles steeply up to the signed junction with Clear Creek Rd. About 4 miles from this junction and past a sign for the San Benito Natural Area, a high-clearance dirt road goes right for about 1 mile to the summit area with several communication towers. The benchmark is nearby on the highest rockpile. I made it to the top in my Mercury station wagon without difficulty. |
