From I-5 south, take Exit 6 for Mt. Ashland.
Follow old Highway 99, which parallels the freeway. Beyond the Siskiyou summit, turn left onto Pilot Rock Road 40-2E-33.
After one mile you pass a trailhead where the PCT crosses, but ignore this.
Drive one more mile and park in a former quarry on the right side of the road. There is a pit toilet here and a sign indicating the start of the trail.
