Follow Forest Service Road 16 approximately 12 miles to the Wiley Flat sign. Then turn right onto Forest Service Road 16-400.

Access is via a combination of paved highway (Highway 380) and unpaved forest roads, including Forest Service Roads 16 and 16-400. The route includes a landmark large ponderosa tree 'in the middle of the road.' Seasonal closures are not mentioned, but users are advised to verify road conditions.
