The trailhead is on the left about a half-mile south of the Douglas Campground on the Silver Lake road. It is a small trailhead and not much room for parking. I arrived around 230pm and there were 4 cars in the lot, room for one more (me), and that is about it. With the way, the shoulders are on the main road (Silver Lake Road), not very practical to park on the side of the road.
It's a short walk to the trailhead register, from there it begins a gradual uphill for about a half mile before it gets a little steeper for the last .4 miles to the summit. The trail is made up of rocks (mostly buried under freshly fallen leaves), roots (wet and slippery), and areas of ledge and bedrock which provides nice traction. There are several lookouts to take advantage of as you climb.
I was surprised with the number of people out this late in the day, and on a Sunday at that. We (the dogs and I) would have company all day. Glad to finally get back out on the trails.
