Parked at a small parking area shortly before the pavement ends on Cloudland Truck Trail off of Devils Canyon Rd north of Cal State San Bernardino. From there, it is a climb along the dirt road to Cloud Peak. Before reaching Cloud Peak, there are two places where Jeep trails leave the road and provides a short cuts to Cloud Peak. I opted to take the shortcuts, which cut out a lot of unnecessary winding in the dirt road. I didn’t see any sort of register on top, but then again if it isn’t out In the open with neon lights flashing to get my attention, then I usually don’t look for it.

From the summit, Marshall Peak is clearly visible to the east. I continued on the road for about a mile and up a Jeep trail to its summit. Paragliders were using the mountain top as their launch point. I was the only hiker there, so I felt a little out of place before returning the way I came.
