From the Sisters Ranger Station, travel generally NW on US20 for 12.1 miles. Turn right on FR12 and continue 1.1 mile. Bear left on FR1210, continue 4.7 mile and park. The marker bears WNW, about 0.4 mile distant and uphill. Google Earth images show there is less brush to contend if one approaches indirectly from the W.
Type of survey mark: 2-1/2" aluminum cap on aluminum pipe; rising 9"
