Take the Inkom Idaho Ext off of I-15 (approx.13 miles south of Pocatello Id). Going through the town of Inkom, take Rapid Creek Rd to Inman Rd. which will be on your right. This road turns into FS road 018 and goes to the Trail Head, (42.50.15 N, 112.10.47W).
Pine Ridge is an easy to moderate hike along a double track and easy bush wacking. Any passenger car should be able to navigate to the place we parked and many would likely have no trouble driving further up the 2 track if desired. We had plenty of activity on 2M and I wouldn't expect any trouble activating 2M only. The views of the Grasslands and Central Oregon Cascades are fantastic and the solitude is remarkable for the ease of access.

This summit is best accessed via FR 4610, running east from the La Dee Flat OHV area. A high clearance vehicle with all-terrain tires is recommended, as the road is quite rocky and subject to rock slides and debris from steep hillsides.

Start on the game trail just east of the turnout at 45.21254, -121.98528, and follow the ridge to the top. It's a fairly easy bushwhack, with a steady climb of 423' over 0.75 miles.
This Nevada peak was first activated on 29 November 2021 by KJ7WGM along with Hanks Peak. This is a very straight forward ½-mile hike with only 287 feet of elevation gain. Follow the ridge line from where you park and head to a false summit. You can walk over the summit or skirt around it on the south (recommended). The summit is very rocky and today was extremely windy. I was able to find a rock outcropping that protected me from the wind on the NW side of the summit.
