There used to be a road access to this very big parking area at the east end of Saddle Dike Embankment, if the gate at the paved road access is closed. Now the closest car accessible trailhead is at the end of CA Hwy 173 at a wide parking area about 1.5 miles to the south. From here hike about 5 miles to the popular Deep Creek Hot Springs. There is no need to ford the Deep Creek itself along this section of the PCT, thanks to the Rainbow bridge that was built decades ago.
