The trailhead parking area (3,900 ft) is located just past the bridge over Fryingpan Creek. There are no facilities at the trailhead.

ASCENT ROUTE

Hike the trail toward Summerland and after crossing bridge over Fryingpan Creek, leave trail (snow covered in early season) just before the switchbacks. Follow the right most creek, crossing as far up as possible and head for the saddle north of Point 6491. Alternatively, you can hike to the saddle past Point 6491. Then follow ridge to the summit.

For loop trip, return heading from the summit on a bearing of !110° and follow easiest contour.
