The paved road to Salt Creek continues south as N Pine Road or FR-39 into DN14.

- At about a mile, you'll turn left (north) and skirt around the west side of the butte
- Head up a washboarded ravine, eventually topping out in a saddle
- There are two summits that can be reached from here, both approximately the same elevation about 1/2 mile apart
