Hiking Portion:

Walk up FS-7721 to the summit.  FS-7721 is the obvious gated road that goes up to the east from Williams Pass.  Stay on the main road as you ascend.  There are no significant route-finding difficulties.

The summit has nice views and plenty of room to setup.  There is a lookout at the top.  The lookout is an R-6 flat cab on a 53-foot tower, that was moved to Williams Peak from Little Joe in 1977.  It replaces a previous lookout that was built in 1934. (information from firelookout.com).
