Follow the first kilometre of old logging road, then climb the forest trail into the upper bowl. The former forestry-cabin site lies roughly 6 km from the start near 1,770 m elevation and provides the turnaround for this shorter outing. The cabin is no longer present, so it is not an emergency shelter or reservable accommodation. Returning from the bowl avoids the separate unmarked summit extension.
