From Sedalia, enter the Pike National Forest on Highway 67. You will pass, in order, the Indian Creek Campground on your right, the Nationwide Youth Round-up Campground on your left, and a small fire station also on your left. The unmarked turn-off for Bennett Mountain is on the right side of the highway, approximately 1/4 of a mile past the fire station. Once you make the turn, follow the signs for the archery range. After approximately half a mile, there will be a fork in the road, with signs for the archery range pointing left, and a gate blocking vehicle travel to the right (this will be the second such gate, the other one being a couple hundred feet downhill of it). This is the trailhead. Park off to the side of the road, and begin hiking along the abandoned portion of the road that forks right. The old road is very clear and easy to follow. Hike along the road for 1.5 miles. At 1.5 miles, the road bends to the left, and a clear walking path can be seen on the right leading up another half a mile to the summit.
