Abbey's Way leaves FR #487 to the northeast and heads towards a mountain meadow which was part of an old homestead. The trail then climbs directly up the pine and Douglas fir covered slopes of Aztec Peak towards the lookout tower. It includes some switchbacks near the top. The trail wraps around the peak and meets FR #487 just east of the top of the peak.

Directions: From Young, Travel south on State Highway #288 to Forest Road #487. Take FR #487 3 1/4 miles east. There is parking for several vehicles on the west side of FR 487 across from the trail,
