DHPT - trail has new signage and is very well marked and the trail is easy to follow all the way to the summit of DHP. The AllTrails directions for DHP trailhead were way off; they were saying go to exit 34 versus the Cairn’s directions for exit 38 that go directly to the DHP TRAILHEAD.

The trail has a clear entry point from the road and all the way up is well marked with signage for all of the rock climbing areas.

Discovery pass required to park in the area off of exit 38 per the directions from cairn.

There are lots of ferns in the lower areas and Lots of blooming beargrass in the upper part of the trail and purple and white snapdragons.

It was a complete white-out at the top of dirty Harry’s peak making it impossible for me to find the trail to Dirty Box Peak which I was my planning to hike as well.

On the way down I did a side excursion to explore Dirty Harry’s museum and saw the old logging truck. Pretty amazing that they were able to get the old truck up the steep old logging roads.
