 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
From Pittsburg, Rt. 145, Cedar Stream Road for 8.6 miles. Right onto an unnamed road heading south along the Middle Branch of Cedar Stream. **At 2.1 miles, right onto an unnamed and new road heading west towards peak. (This road is not yet on maps or the satellite imagery as far as we can tell.) Took this gravel logging road 0.6 miles to its end at a large flat logging yard; we parked here. This brought us to within 0.4 mile of the summit.

We had attempted to approach both Cedar Mountain and Whipple Mountain from the Bobcat Trail (road) that left the Deadwater Road. This would have put us in the middle between the two peaks. But the Bobcat Road was still gated. So instead of hitting Cedar Mtn. from its west, we had to drive back around to its east. That ended up being great, as we found a new road that brought us even closer, to an easy route up to the peak.
From the logging yard we followed the hard-packed logging road (looks like this past season as there was no regrowth). We soon turned right, heading uphill. As we climbed, we hit small regrowth, then more regrowth as we neared the summit, but never bad or hard.
Painted “X†on a rock at the top. Easy and quick walk, about half hour round trip.
Quick and easy approach. Consider hiking this soon (this season) while the regrowth is none-to-small, as it will look very different in another 5 years. Another successful hike with JEM3 as we close down on the NH500. Third of 4 for the day!
