Just one road in to the look out and same way back out, no side roads. They are buy up private land to add to the Wilderness area. I use to hunt that area. They just bought up another big chunk of private property a few months ago. Wilderness means no vehicle travel. Don't know if and when they are going to open up the new section to the public to hike on.
I ran that Memorial Day weekend. The FS has filled in all the difficult spots so equipment could be moved in for erosion control. You can literally take a 2WD pickup up there. Because it’s so easy the number of people up there was staggering. The worst thing though was all the trash along the trails. Beer cans, paper even a car battery. We picked up what we could but we didn’t even make a dent in the trash. It’s sad.
Might be a long trip for you but we can always camp some where. Starts here: https://goo.gl/maps/ntj3giFtVrbAPzdx9
a buddy of mine just ran this last friday, said it was a blast. the best route is through Georgetown up Wentworth Springs Rd to Eleven Pines Rd to Hell hole Reservoir.
its about an hour and twenty minutes of the most scenic (except where the King Fire burned) drive around. I got a trail report from my buddy and he says “definitely some aggressive wheeling to be had”
