Like most trails I ride regularly, this trail is north of Los Angeles. Its in the same area as the Rowher trail, but we'll starting from the other side of the mountain - the Acton side. Take the 14 freeway, or Sierra Hwy north towards Palmdale. Take the Sand Canyon offramp from the 14 and head towards Sierra Hwy. At the intersection of Sand Canyon and Sierra Hwy, turn right and 4.5 miles later you'll see the forest sign and the Rowher Flats sign. The entrance is on the left side of the highway.

At 3 miles in, like the sign said, there is a parking/unloading area. This is where most of the motorcycle and ATVs unload. There is a restroom here and, at the far end, a map of the area trails. Looking at the map you'll see that there are only 2 trails for Jeeps, Rowher and Lookout, and both are rated Most Difficult. The parking/unloading area is a convenient place to air down and disconnect. When you're ready to continue, exit the parking area, turn left, keep going up the dirt road that leads to both trailheads.
