White Mtn Talc Road, which is excellent dirt and go 3.8 mi. to its junction with a good dirt road. Turn right here and follow the rapidly deteriorating road NW for 3.5 mi. to a poor (but not 14.WD) road heading right (E) toward the peak. The road snakes around for slightly over 1/2 mi. until it reaches a cabin at the base of the mountain. 0.1 mi. beyond the cabin park at a switchback in the road with plenty of room to turn a vehicle around. Hike: From the switchback we took the ridge directly up and angled right past the false summits to the top. On the way down we chose to descend the wash which terminates at the southernmost of two cabins shown on the map. Good sand in the lower portion of the wash made for a quick descent. Stats(Round Trip): 1200 ft. gain, 2 miles, 45mm up 30mm down. Map: 9 minute series 1987 Nelson Range, Calif. (See Inset)
