A very pleasant hike that you can start from the parking at the junction of Schueren Rd and Stunt Rd, or just drive a short ways down Stunt Rd and park on the shoulder. There is a marked trailhead there. We took that route which provides and nice private start to the trail, should you need a nice private area after your drive. Rest of the trail is very pleasant with great views. The summit is not where all the antennas so the RFI is actually not bad. Great coverage of the LA basin and beyond for 2m/70cm operation and plenty of open space and things to lash a mast to for HF operating.
