Sweet little hike.

No real trailhead or trail to find, so I parked & started at the closest land marker near FR235, "Tinaja Tank". From there I simply headed east and kept climbing (steeply) till I peaked out. The forest is THICK in this area, so really no views until you reach tippy-top...then stunning views of the Kendrick, San Fran's and Eldon, as well as Sunset and O'Leary. (see photoset) I found the survey marker(s) (actually two up there), took a break and headed back down.

Was memorial day holiday, many campers and ORV's along FR700, FR236 and FR235.

This is a very fine hike and I'm surprised it's not that well known...add to you list!!
