Road access"Leave the Silver City Stage Road at the Scotch Creek turnoff (marked with an "Access Yes" sign) and follow a steep jeep road south through the Sinker Tunnel past Oro Fino Gulch. Pass numerous mining remnants and follow the steep road east and then north. Near the Burnham Flat area you can ascend the steeper north side."
These are the directions I used. The turnoff has a old rusted out Car on the side of the road. Head up that road for about a mile until you get to the fence. Park there and head in. Its a long approach, but a fun climb. I was going to do it again this Spring once the snow is done moving. Definitely a lot of avy activity on this route. We were walking on avalanche remnants all the way up the chute.
