Route 160 east of Lynch and west of Appalachia crosses the mountain. The summit is reached by a narrow road that turns off to the right if coming from Lynch or to the left if coming from Appalachia, at the Kentucky-Virginia line (the gap that is the highest part of Route 160) and leads past a
Federal Aviation Administration radar dome. There is a one lane
dirt road to the left not far past the
radar dome that leads to the
summit. The summit is marked with an abandoned metal fire lookout tower (the cab and wooden steps are missing from the tower). There are also multiple
radio towers along with
transmitter buildings around the summit and a
National Geodetic Survey benchmark is located on a large rock over the hill to the left of the fire tower. This benchmark is below the highest point; ==Ecology==
