From Salina: Drive north on US-89 for 3.7miles. Turn right onto 3500 Redmond Switch Road toward Willow Creek. JoinWillow Creek Road and drive east for 14.7 miles. At the three-way intersection,turn left (North) onto Skyline Drive. Continue on this for 10.5 miles. Once ontop of the mountains, turn left at the 4-wayintersection onto Forest Road 1271 and take this for 0.2 miles.
From Mayfield: Drive east from Mayfield onEast Canyon Road that turns into Forest Road 0022. Take a slight right after 5miles onto Forest Road 0023. Drive for 0.6 miles and turn right onto FR 0290 orcontinue straight onto FR 0022.
FR 0290 - This is definitely a 4WD road forabout 6.6 miles until it joins Skyline Drive on the bench. The crux of thedrive is after Woods Lake where a steep muddy section makes it difficult topass, which makes the route from Salina or FR 0022, preferable.
FR 0022 – Better maintained dirt road thatveers northeast a small amount to Skyline Drive at Twelve Mile Flat Campground.This may take longer than FR 0290 but the risk of getting stuck is aconsiderably less. Turn south on Skyline Drive and drive for 5.8 miles to the4-way intersection near Island Lake Peak.
