"According to Google Maps, I parked at the intersection of Gramacy and Paramount Road. That being said, there were no street signs out there and the roads were dirt, so I parked as close to FR 3N24 as I could get, after pulling off of Highway 138 in Nuss Ranch (even the town was unsigned). Each targeted peak was in view from this spot, Peak 5114 and Phelan Benchmark to the left and Peak 4960 and Peak 4954 to the right. In between them all, FR 3N24 climbs through the desert like landscape to a saddle. It was at that point that I had to choose where to go first. I went right to visit the smaller peaks. Shortly after the saddle, a dirt bikers trail left the forest road and climbed to a high point. I took this route in hopes that it would take me to the peaks in a more direct way. It wound up cutting down the mileage a little bit, but I still had to drop back down to the road to climb Peak 4960 (which again had a dirt bikers trail tearing its way to the top). After a brief stop, I continued on to Peak 4954 in a similar fashion. A few times I had to move off the trail on the day since dirt bikers would pass by.
After Peak 4954, I stuck to the forest road and returned to the saddle. Th..." — MikeTeeples • Mar 28, 2020
