ndskibum,
that is correct about 1/4 of a mile before the ranch turn right. Then there are three left turns. when you see a left turn take it. At the third left turn you go 1/2 of a mile. You will see a large parking lot, park there as the road forward has a steep drop off for 4x4 only. The trail starts on the south side of the parking lot next to some large boulders.It helps to have a high clearance vehicle. Remember to bring plenty of water and sunscreen.
HAVE FUN AND BE FREE !
