This is a popular spot to hitch into the towns of Tehachapi (West) or Mojave (East). At the trailhead you will find a picnic bench with possible water cache, shaded spots and a trail register.

Hitching into Mojave was not easy, though. I was trying my luck for more than 45 minutes at the junction of Oak Creek Road and Tehachapi Willow Springs Road. Although there is lots of traffic, nobody was stopping. UBER and lyft weren't available either.

Last water source for 16 miles south until Tylerhorse Canyon (unless the trail angels refill the water cache at the summit) and possibly north for 40 miles. The fantastic Tehachapi trail angel, in front of whose house we had parked the car a couple of weeks earlier and had dropped us off at the start of the section, picked us up here at the end. Perfect.
