From LA Basin, Drive south on I-15 to Highway 79 South (Temecula). Follow Hwy. 79 approx. 38 miles southeast to Indian Flats Road (9S05)(about 1.5 mile west of Warner Springs). Drive north approximately 4 miles on this narrow, partially surfaced, partially dirt road along the top of a ridge. As the road turns west it will begin to contour to the south and west of a steep hillside. Within the next .25 mile watch for an opportunity to park along the right side of the road. The PCT is reached via a short scramble up the hill as it contours parallel to the road.
