From the trailhead, a wide track heads to the right before turning uphill toward the crater. Built-in stone steps aid with the ascent of 150 feet over 0.3 miles. When the trail comes to a junction, turn right and you will quickly reach the first overlook of Upheaval Dome.

The obvious gravel trail disappears along the way to the second overlook. Instead, follow the line of cairns and steps carved into the sandstone.
