Access

The Gooding City of Rocks Road crosses over the peak’s South Shoulder. Take ID-46 north from Gooding for 15 miles. Turn west at the BLM sign for the City of Rocks. Follow the signs and follow this road in a westerly direction until you reach a saddle due south of the summit. The saddle is marked as 5572 on the USGS quad. Note that this road is occasionally maintained but is still a rough dirt road with occasional mud holes.
