1) From WI-17 about 2 mi. E of Phelps, go N on side road about 1.2 mi., park at crest and bushwhack uphill .3 mi. to summit, rotten carcass just off road when I did it. The Gogebic MI cty HP is just off the same road a couple miles N, but the MI list hadn't been prepared yet so I didn't know to do it.

2) Decided on W approach, instead of double-dash road at bottom of Phelps quad take new FR-2472 which starts further S but rejoins the single-dash route near the '25' section number on map. Park soon after instead of chopping fallen tree, walk E and turn on new FR-2472A which follows intermittent brook N of summit. Bushwhack 0.2 mi. S to HP, walk about 0.8 mi. each way.
