The public route reference is at Briery Branch Gap; follow the designated Flagpole road, identified as 85A on the motor vehicle map. Steep grades, rocks and changing weather call for a highway-legal, high-clearance 4WD vehicle and an experienced driver. Snow or mud can make the route impassable. The original community photographs are historical winter scenes, not a current conditions report or permission to leave the designated road.
