Plenty of parking below the mountain, stay on the road until you pass the cattle guard, a 2 mile hike from where we parked. This was my grandsons first hide. Very nice views of Pikes Peak, Signal Butte, Thunder Butte, Manitou Lake and of course Mt Deception. On the way down we saw what we percieved to be a (vacated) bear hibernation den. We found Lost Yet on our way down, last find was July 2013.
