From the parking area on Roxy Ann Rd, go up the gravel road for a mile to a fork, go left past a gate for another half-mile to just past the Roxy Ann picnic area, where the Ponderosa trail heads off to the right. Climb to the summit up a few switchbacks, then enjoy the nice view towards Mt. McLoughlin. Descend Manzanita, the way you came up, or the Tower Road.
