Pt. 6815 (W6/NS-262) SOTA Activation 6/17/2013
Read MorePt. 6815 is in Tahoe National Forest, south of Highway 49 between Sierraville and Loyalton. To get there from Sierraville, take Hwy 49 east and turn right onto Antelope Valley Road (easy 2WD dirt road shown in purple above). Follow this road until you are almost due south of the summit at 39.61949N, 120.26171W. Hike up the rather steep 4x4 road that is shown in blue. When you reach the ridge top, bushwhack your way eastward up to the summit.
From Loyalton, you can instead take the paved Smithneck Road southward toward Stampede Reservoir, turn onto Antelope Valley Road (it is paved for a short distance on this end), and proceed to the 4x4 road that way. The maps and aerial photos show the 4x4 road continuing northward past the summit and down to Hwy 49, but I haven't been on it.
