Trail Information
Start the hike to Pine Pond/Frog Pond Loop in a northwest direction following the Summit Trail, across the highway from the pull-out. Just before the trail crosses the highway, make a sharp left on an unnamed trail, that descends to Wall Point Road. Go west until you reach a saddle before the climb to Wall Point itself look out for a small connector trail on the right that descends to Barbecue Terrace Road. Then take this road (it eventually becomes Stage Road) and 0.34 miles beyond Pine Pond carefully look for a trail on the right that crosses the creek Sunset Trail. At this trail’s northern end, turn right to get eventually onto Burma Road. Follow this all the way to Deer Flat Road and just before Juniper Campground take the Juniper Trail, Summit Trail and Green Ranch Road to the site of the former Green Ranch. Descend on Alder Creek Road, with a side trip to Frog Pond. Return to trailhead via frog Pond and Curry Canyon Roads.
Directions
The trailhead is located at the paved parking pull-out at Curry Point, South Gate Road.
