Off the 210 in Pasadena, take the Lake Avenue exit
north (towards the mountains) and drive all the way up
to the top until the road takes an abrupt 90 degree left
turn. Stop your car and you are at the trailhead. Go
through the gate and follow the paved road about 200
feet until it veers off to the left. Here there will be a dirt
road that keeps going straight. Take the dirt road and
you will find yourself at the trailhead sign in. From the
trailhead, looking east, you will see the switchbacks
that you will be going up.
