Driving directionsFrom Fresno, California take Highway 180 to Academy Avenue. Turn left (north) and proceed one mile to the intersection with Belmont Avenue. Turn right (east) on Belmont. Proceed east on Belmont which turns into Trimmer Springs Road. In about 13 miles you will pass through the tiny community of Piedra, your last opportunity to purchase supplies and gas. This store is only open during the day. After about 42 miles you will cross the Kings River bridge and continue onto paved Forest Service Road 12S01. The road turns to dirt after a mile, and the cabin is located nearly a mile further down 12S01.
Access is partially paved but transitions to unpaved Forest Service Road 12S01 after crossing the Kings River bridge. The dirt road requires careful navigation and may be unsuitable for low-clearance vehicles.
