Recommend getting to the trailhead coming in from the south (rt 238).  Dirt roads that are passable.  It is a better ride with a 4×4 with clearance for sure, a regular car will be slow going.

We had the entire mountain to ourselves all day.  Not another person even came to the trailhead.  First 2 miles were steady uphill, last mile was more bouldering.  Final climb to the peak was strenuous after 3 miles of climbing.  View was spectacular.  Lots of photo opportunities along the way.  Round trip from the parking lot was 6.3 miles and just short of 2,500 elevation gain.  A great hike on an out of the way trail from the normal.
