Mt Alston Approach Roads

An overview of the currently accessible roads on the southwest side of Mt Alston. The southwest ridge can be accessed from any of them depending on how comfortable you feel with the driving conditions. Not knowing the route, we chose the lowest road - which probably added about an hour to our day. After summiting, we drove up all the roads to confirm that all are driveable. We got this overall picture by walking 5 minutes down the southwest ridge from the south summit - the one with the tripod. Our truck is marked with the red arrow. Photo credit Tony Vaughn.
