Follow the gravel road as far as you can with the vehicle you have. The road gets increasing more rough. At 2.3 km you will come to a road on your right. You can park here and hike up to the peak via the Peak Access Trail or you can continue straight to drive to the peak. The road at this point starts to climb the hill and becomes more difficult. Some of the steep sections of road may be washed out. A 4 wheel drive vehicle is highly recommended beyond this point.
