My goal was to nab as many HPS summits as I could in a single day around Frazier Mountain (HPS #70). The Tacoma and I were going to tag team it. Since all gates on Frazier Mountain Road were open, I drove to the top. Part of the road was crumbling asphalt and the last 4.5 miles was bumpy dirt road. While a sedan could probably make it, I wouldn't risk it, mainly out of concern for getting a flat on the rocks. The fire lookout was in bad repair. The stairs were missing and much of the floor. The tower would be necessary to see over the tallest surrounding trees. There were good views north, including Tecuya Mountain which was next at bat.
