From the town of Fawnskin, drove approximately 9 mi along 2N13/ Butler Lookout Road to the base of the summit. From here there is a 0.2 mi/ 100 ft climb to the volunteer-run Lookout Station and summit. We heard from several sources that this was a driveable road, but we did not find this to be the case. We actually parked the car 2.5 mi from the summit and hiked the rest. The Lookout hours are from 9 am - 5 pm, with a gate closed after hours.

Hike to the summit from the parking area
From Fawnskin (yellow road) one can take the Butler Lookout service road to the summit.
