The
Trail
About
20 yards to the left of the fire road gate is the start of the
trail. Quickly it will begin to switchback up the steep slopes.
After a tough first mile the trail will junction with the Mount
Disappointment Rd.
Go left, or east, and walk on the road for about
200 yards, staying to your left. Soon you'll pick up the final
leg of the San Gabriel Peak trail, which will be on your left.
The trail will drop 50 feet initially and then climb the last
half- mile to the peak.
Return to the fire road (actually
the Mt. Disappointment Rd.) and head west until you get to the
road that leads to the top of Mount Disappointment. Turn left
and follow the road for a quarter-mile to the summit.

Return
the way you came, remembering to turn left on the paved road
once you've walked down from Mount Disappointment.
Walk about 100 yards to the west keeping a sharp
lookout for the trail you climbed up, which will be on the right.
Follow the trail back to your car.
