Cool hike really liked it trail in great Knick also easy route up to the Tower with stunning views all round,I recommend cycling to the trail head 🙂 stash your bike in the bushes and then get on trail,a lot easier on the return with the wind on your back,overall worth it only bummer is the walk on the road ( on your bike mate )

Park at Frenchman’s Camp. 1 1/2 mile walk on old Hwy 99 brings you to trailhead. Meandering uphill climb to Slide Mountain lookout. Catch the spur trail to the manicured helipad and more views to the south, including Lake Piru. Hike up shows great views of Pyramid Lake. Hike down sees Lake Piru shimmering in the distance. Just below the lookout find the spur trail that leads to Dome Mountain. Blink and you’ll miss it. We did our hike in mid November, beautiful sun drenched sky, though a bit windy. Cool temps made layering a must. Thanks to Steve and Santa Clarita Community Hiking Club for organizing.
