Coming from nearby city of Bishop, you simply stay on CA-168 westward towards the mountains.
After you pass Buttermilk Rd you'll soon see a sign for "Inyo National Forest" on your right, and just several yards in front of that is where I stood. You can safely park your vehicle along Starlite Dr a few hundred feet ahead on your right.
