Trailhead at the crossing of Angeles Crest Highway near mile marker 54.10.
View of Trailhead leading down to Three Points from across Angeles Crest Highway at continuation of PCT.
In the direction following the PCT coming down from Cloudburst Summit, the forks in the trail are obvious which way to go. Coming up from Three Points there are a couple that are clearly marked but if the sign fell down the way forward wouldn’t be obvious.
Nearing the crossing with Angeles Crest Highway, veer to the left and follow the thinner trail.
After crossing Angeles Crest Highway from Three Points, the trail reaches a junction where left continues the PCT and right follows the Mt. Waterman Trail.
Go left at the junction with the Mt. Waterman Trail
The trail continues across Angeles Crest Highway.
